Jean Foillard 2023 Morgon Côte du Py
French Red
Dried cherry and prune lead a soft, unctuous palate, with concentrated fruit carried by a supple texture. There is seriousness beneath the generosity, but the wine remains composed and flowing rather than dense. Its pure, generous shape makes it a natural partner for charcuterie, roast chicken or goat cheese, while the fruit remains clear enough to enjoy on its own.
Jean Foillard 2019 Fleurie Magnum 1.5 L
French Red
A deep, silky-smooth profile includes black cherry, violet, wet earth, smoky berry character and spice. The wine is concentrated and elegant, with medium-to-full body, velvety texture, fine depth, lively acidity and a sapid, fresh finish. A serious tannin structure, drive and energy are also present, together with loamy soil and potpourri. This is Gamay from Fleurie in Beaujolais.
Jean Foillard 2023 Beaujolais Blanc
French White
White flowers, green apple and pear appear with citrus and a saline mineral finish. The Chardonnay comes from a 1.4-hectare parcel at Pizay, planted with vines ten to fifteen years old. Whole clusters receive a three-day cold maceration before pressing. Half the wine is vinified in concrete, while the remainder uses old barrels and sandstone jars. Production totalled around twelve thousand bottles.
Jean Foillard 2022 Cuvée 3.14 Morgon
French Red
Dark cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal open into smoke, spice and a distinct stony note. The palate is deep and velvety, carrying ripe fruit with fresh acidity and fine, structured tannins through a long mineral finish. Drawn from very old vines on schist and granite, then whole-cluster fermented and aged in seasoned oak, it rewards decanting and cellar time.
