Description
The Jean Foillard estate is located in Villié-Morgon in the heart of Beaujolais. The Foillard family knows their terroirs to perfection and chooses to vinify their grapes in whole harvests in order to obtain brilliant fruit and a very characteristic velvety texture.
All the wines are produced in the most natural way possible in order to transcribe a very authentic expression of the terroir. What is also remarkable is their aging capacity which is beyond comprehension, some of them like the Côte du Py can be kept for no less than 20 years without batting an eyelid.
Tasting Notes
Jean Foillard has long been synonymous with natural, pitch-perfect Beaujolais and this Morgon continues that fine form. Riper than in previous vintages yet beautifully balanced, it opens with violet and crushed red berries before revealing earthy hints of dried leaves and a concentrated but supple palate. It’s perfumed, powerful and unmistakably Morgon.
