Named after Daniel Bouland’s daughter, Cuvée Mélanie is drawn from a small, steep, half-hectare plot on the slopes of Mont Brouilly. The 70-year-old vines are rooted on the area’s famous terres bleu (blue-tinted volcanic soils) within the lieu-dit of Tête Noire vines, directly above Château Thivin. It’s this volcanic blue schist that lends the wines of this Cru their unique mineral profile. Bouland’s 0.8-hectare parcel is planted at 12,000 vines per hectare. As with all Bouland’s cuvées, this is a wine born from low yields and natural, whole-bunch fermentation.

“Short, straight to the point note on this simply delicious wine. This is beauty and the beast. Violet, ozone, blood, fresh fig, blue-skinned fruit. Tense palate, dark volcanic rock texture and a steely, almost oyster shell aftertaste. Grace and power.”
94 points, Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
“The lieu dit in Côte de Brouilly is actually called Brouilly so Daniel Bouland prefers the name Cuvée Mélanie to avoid confusion. The vines are south facing on blue volcanic soil above Château Thivin. Made in stainless steel. A similar fine purple, with a much deeper bouquet as it should have, while retaining elegance. Just a little more muscle behind, flows wonderfully and retains a crystalline crunch. Between fruit and flowers, a little more the former, a pure and sensual raspberry. Blue volcanic, lots of little stones.”
