Derived from older vines in rockier soils, the 2019 Morgon Bellevue Cailloux is even more sensuous and textural than its Sable counterpart. Mingling notions of raspberries and plums with hints of rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, its powdery tannins almost entirely cloaked in succulent, perfumed fruit.
Daniel Bouland has only been producing his Bellevue bottling since 2014, when he purchased this parcel of old vines. He raises the wine in two thousand liter old foudres. The 2019 Bellevue is a beautiful wine in the making, offering a pure and complex bouquet of red and black cherries, pomegranate, smoked meats, bonfire, fresh thyme and a gorgeous base of stony soil tones. On the palate the wine is precise, full-bodied and very transparent in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, ripe, buried tannins, lovely focus and grip and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. After the more broad-shouldered 2018 version, this is absolutely classical in its measurements and a gorgeous wine in the making. 2025-2055+.
The 2019 Morgon Bellevue Sable is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, orange rind and plums. Medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, it's bright and fleshy, with powdery tannins and a generous core of fruit, girdled by lively acids.
