Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Details

The 2023 Jean Foillard Morgon “Côte du Py” is one of the most iconic “Natural” wines in the world. Jean Foillard is a leading member of the “Gang of Four” (alongside Lapierre, Thévenet, and Breton) who revolutionized Beaujolais by returning to traditional, chemical-free viticulture. The 2023 vintage is noted for its exceptional concentration and “shimmering” purity.

Tasting Note: The wine itself is soft and unctuous, tasting of prunes and dried cherries, a voluptuous cru Beaujolais made with painstaking care. The organically farmed vines from the famed “Côte du Py” range from 10 all the way up to 90 years of age. This is a very serious Gamay.
