Daniel Bouland Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Mélanie 2024 is a Beaujolais red wine made from Gamay, sourced from vineyards on the flanks of Mont Brouilly in eastern France. This cuvée draws on old vines rooted in blue volcanic stone, a defining feature of Côte de Brouilly that lends depth and mineral tension. Bouland’s hands-off approach in the cellar allows the site to speak clearly, shaping a wine that is both concentrated and finely detailed.
The 2024 vintage presents a more structured profile, with dark cherry and blackberry fruit at its core, supported by firm yet measured tannins. There is a subtle earthy note alongside a savoury edge, bringing complexity without excess weight. Despite its density, the wine retains balance through natural acidity and a sense of freshness that carries through the palate. It is a composed and age-worthy expression of Gamay, well suited to dishes such as roast pork, grilled duck, or mushroom-based preparations.
