Jean Foillard "Côte du Py" Morgon 2023

Jean Foillard is a legendary pioneer of the natural wine movement. His family farms fourteen hectares with a non-interventionist mentality in the heart of Morgon, carrying on his unforgettable legacy within the region. This organic varietal Gamay is silky and smooth, marked by flavors of poppy red fruit, rose petals, and wet rocks. A stellar example of ‘reflective of the place from which it comes!

Producer: Jean Foillard

Region: Beaujolais I France

Appellation: Morgon

Grape: 100% Gamay

Much like the Cisterian monks documented the best slopes and soils of Burgundy over centuries, it is widely agreed upon that Côte du Py is the heart and soul of Morgan. The wines are bold, spicy and peppery in addition to the fresh Gamay characteristics that Jean Foillard has become famous for. Whole cluster fermentation for 3-4 weeks and up to 9 months in neutral barrels has been the winning formula for decades.
