94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The cuvée of Corcelette Vieilles Vignes from Monsieur Bouland is always one of the finest examples of Morgon made each year and the 2018 is again stellar. These vines are sixty-five to seventy-five years of age, with most of the bottling raised in two thousand liter foudres, but with a small percentage also raised in stainless steel tank. The 2018 again comes in at 13.5 percent octane and is a bit more black fruity out of the blocks than the Pré Jourdan and Bellevue bottlings, wafting from the glass in a youthfully complex blend of black cherries, sweet dark berries, gamebird, a touch of coffee bean, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, a hint of fresh thyme and the vintage’s signature topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, soildriven and rock solid at the core, with tangy acids, ripe tannins and excellent grip and focus on the long, promising and minerally finish. This is a true vin de garde from the 2018 vintage and will be absolutely stunning when it is fully ready to drink! 2026-2060. (Jan/Feb 2020)"
