From magnum. Well, I as much as I adored the sandy version, this goes the extra yard. Not just a more intense and vital purple, but in the intensity of the bouquet. Not quite so old vines, but not far off. There is a natural harmony through the middle of the palate, then a slightly more austere finish. The Cailloux bottling will need longer to come round. It does not take long to smooth out in the glass, but this is a real vin de garde. Tasted Feb 2024.

The 2022 Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Cailloux exudes charm from the outset, captivating the senses with enticing notes of blackberries, licorice, figs, lilac petals and hints of black pepper intertwined with nuances of balsamic reduction and grilled meats. While boasting a sturdy structure underpinned by chalky tannins, this cuvée presents as the most open-knit among its counterparts, such as the younger-vine or Sable cuvées. The rich black-fruited flavors expand on the mid-palate, revealing deeper layers of ripeness in a savory guise, characterized by flavors of grilled meats and balsamic reduction, followed by a cut of wet-stone salinity that persists with the chalky tannins to guide a mouth-watering finish.
