93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The entire contents of the five-year-old foudre that contains Bouland's 2018 Morgon Pré Jourdan were reserved by his US importer, so overseas consumers may have a hard time finding this superb wine, which hails from lieu-dit near the village in the direction of Fleurie. Aromas of blackberries and spices mingle with notes of rose petals, violets and potpourri in a bouquet that has taken on a discrete patina from its comparatively new foudre. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent, with fine and powdery tannins, ripe acids and a perfumed finish. Drink: 2020-2035. (Aug 2019)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Pré Jourdan is a brand new lieu à dit bottling from Monsieur Bouland. This plot lies near the Morgon-Fleurie border and is planted with seventy year-old vines, and there was only a single foudre produced in the debut vintage of 2018, with all of the wine coming to the US market. It comes in at 13.5 percent and delivers a superb aromatic constellation of red and black cherries, pomegranate, gamebird, a hint of cedar, granitic soil tones, a touch of lavender and a gently smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with superb transparency and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and vibrant finish. This is a properly structured 2018 Morgon and will want a bit of time in the cellar to soften up, but should age very long and gracefully. What a marvelous addition to the lineup chez Bouland! 2025-2055+. (Jan/Feb 2020)"
