B‑21 has always offered the best wines at the best prices of any vendor. I had a lot of problems with FedEx shipping on several occasions, but all of a sudden they've implemented a new schedule and notification system that really seems to work. This delivery was on time and perfect. Looking forward to my next order.

Yesterday

Good selection, fair prices and prompt/economical delivery. Minor but worrisome gripe: 2 bottles in the last shipment either were corked or the corks were loosen in shipment. The bottles were both fully intact, as were the foil caps, but both had leaked into the box. One lost about 75% of the wine, and the other only about 10%. They were 2 of 6 vermentino wines from as very reputable Tuscan producer that I know well, having been there twice.

The service has always been perfect. Our wine arrives quickly and the UPS man calls me to come down and sign for it. I can only get this wine from one supplier in Florida and they always do a perfect job of making available to me.

Sadly, UPS damaged my shipment of the last bottles of Banyuls wine in B‑21 inventory. The message I received was that the unbroken bottles of my order was being returned to sender (B‑21). I was beyond bummed! B‑21's customer service was extraordinary. In order to arrange for a replacement shipment to be sent, they had to replenish their stock. Within a few hours, I got a message saying the wine was ordered, and confirmed that I'd receive an email when the order was shipped. I couldn't ask for better service. I highly recommend B‑21 for their selection and service. Thanks so much for going above and beyond.

I love this wine! It was delivered promptly and very nicely packed. The only thing is the carrier left it at the main building and not to the address I specified. I guess next time I will add a phone number for the carrier to call me. Love this Sangria!!

The folks at B‑21 turn orders quickly and the$24/case shipping cost is reasonable. My shipment arrived with one broken bottle that apparently was empty when it was packed, as there was no evidence of wine in any dividers, the bottles in the case, or the case itself. The cork was still in the bottle. It was disappointing to lose a bottle of my wife's favorite wine, and they refunded the price of the bottle without delay. It was unfortunate that this happened, but hard to understand how an empty bottle could have been put in the case. I am satisfied with their response and hope to continue doing business with them.

2021 Daniel Bouland Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Melanie (750ml)

Gamay from Cote de Brouilly, Beaujolais, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Described as sitting “squarely in the upper tier of Beaujolais producers” by Josh Raynolds of Vinous, Daniel Bouland ranks among a handful of profound vignerons crafting powerful and age worthy Cru Beaujolais, these highly rated 2021 selections solidly on par with anything you'd taste from the Cote d’Or and recognized by Beaujolais fans and fanatics as best in class.

Based in the hamlet of Corcelette in the Morgon Cru, winemaker Daniel Bouland fastidiously cultivates his eight hectares by hand, the sustainably farmed vineyards planted with old vines in a diverse range of exceptional terroirs mostly in Morgon with smaller parcels in Cote-de-Brouilly and Chiroubles. Hand-harvesting the grapes and vinifying whole bunch clusters with natural yeasts in concrete vats, the wines are then aged in his tiny cellar in either concrete or neutral large oak foudres and bottled without filtration, yielding robustly layered Cru Beaujolais with engaging earthy aromas over a rich core of fresh fruit and enticing granitic minerality, structured to enjoy over the next decades. Described as “layered and charming” by the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, the 92 pt. 2021 Daniel Bouland Morgon Pre Jourdan comes from Bouland's most recently acquired parcel of 70-year-old vines on the Morgon-Fleurie border, a small production gem that’s barely enough to fill a single cask. Named after Daniel's daughter, the “full-bodied, fleshy and succulent” 92 pt. 2021 Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Melanie is sourced from 70-year-old vines in a mix of schist and granite on the southern slope of Mont Brouilly, while the 94 pt. 2021 Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable comes from a single hectare of vines planted in 1925 on the steep hillside just above his cave, this top cuvee a “more classically proportioned Beaujolais” according to Kelley with exceptional aging potential. From the lieu-dit Les Delys in Corcelette with vines planted over 40 years ago in pink granitic sand, the “deep and brooding” 94 pt. 2021 Delys Vieilles Vignes represents “a terrific achievement from Bouland” according to Kelley, reflecting the lieu-dit’s signature roundness and rich texture.

Traditionally crafting bold, complex, and long-lived Cru Beaujolais that are a reference point for the appellation, these 2021 selections from Daniel Bouland are priced well below similarly scored Red Burgundy, a limited offer requiring quick action and summed up well by Josh Raynolds of Vinous: “Bouland has steadily developed a dedicated following that makes his wines difficult to track down. They’re more than worth the effort given their consistent quality, which is about as high as it gets in Beaujolais…For the money, these are simply some of the greatest values in French wine today.”

92WA

Opening in the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, spices and smoke, the 2021 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Melanie is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with a sweet core of fruit, tangy acids, powdery tannins and penetrating finish. It's one example of a 2021 that I prefer to its riper, more powerful 2020 counterpart.

92 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Aug 2022)
