{"product_id":"2024-daniel-bouland-cuvee-melanie-cote-de-brouilly-beaujolais","title":"2024 Daniel Bouland 'Cuvée Mélanie' Côte de Brouilly (Beaujolais)","description":"\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eFrom one of Beaujolais’ most respected traditional growers, Daniel Bouland’s 2024 'Cuvée Mélanie' Côte de Brouilly is sourced from old Gamay vines planted on the steep slopes of Mont Brouilly. Rooted in the appellation’s distinctive blue volcanic rock, the vines produce fruit of notable concentration, while the site lends the wine its characteristic smoky minerality and underlying tension. Named after Bouland’s daughter, Mélanie, this is a compelling expression of Cru Beaujolais, combining the variety’s natural vibrancy with impressive depth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eThe nose is beautifully lifted, revealing redcurrant, wild raspberry and dark cherry, intertwined with violet, cracked pepper and a striking hint of smoky stone. The palate is concentrated and energetic, with layers of juicy berry fruit balanced by earthy savouriness and a distinctly mineral edge. Fine but assertive tannins provide a gentle grip, while bright acidity brings freshness and definition to a long, mouth-watering finish. There is real substance beneath the wine’s fragrant fruit, with a subtle rusticity that adds character without compromising its precision. A wonderfully individual expression of Gamay, marrying the freshness of Beaujolais with the depth and structure to reward a few years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Bouland","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ Cote de Brouilly - Cuvee Melanie","offer_id":54260751171867,"sku":"127723","price":64.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/0457\/7307\/files\/daniel_bouland_cote_de_brouilly_2024.jpg?v=1792202202","url":"https:\/\/finewinemerchant.com.au\/products\/2024-daniel-bouland-cuvee-melanie-cote-de-brouilly-beaujolais","provider":"Fine Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
