Daniel Bouland - Cote de Brouilly 'Cuvee Melanie' - 2022

The 2022 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Melanie, from a south-facing site in the Côte de Brouilly, is fresh in the glass with aromas of Indian spices, blackcurrants, black cherries, dark chocolate shavings and powdery purple petals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is lush in the glass with a layered core of supple dark fruits melded with an invigorating wet-stone undertone. The wine follows an upward trajectory guided by a lining of fine-grained, structuring tannins, outlasting the fruit for a mouth-watering, piquant finish. 91 Points Kenna Wells, The Wine Advocate
