The Morgon Côte du Py is fresh, lithe and elegant, with aromas of tart plums, red and black currants, Indian spices, rose petals and wet stones. On the palate, fine-grained, latticed tannins support the crunchy-fruited core, and an impressive depth of flavor expands to include sweet soil and spearmint tones. The tangy acids work to further emphasize the underlying salinity, which serves as the driving force leading the crisp, wizened finish. This is a wonderful release from the domaine, surely worth seeking out if not too late.

Jean Foillard is a renowned wine producer located in the Beaujolais region of France. Known for his impeccable winemaking skills and dedication to producing high-quality wines, Foillard has become a household name among wine enthusiasts.

The Beaujolais region, located in the southern part of Burgundy, is known for its light and fruity red wines made from the Gamay grape. However, Foillard's approach to winemaking sets him apart from other producers in the region. He believes in minimal intervention in the vineyard and the winery, allowing the grapes to express their true terroir and characteristics.

Foillard's main focus is on the Morgon appellation, which is known for its deep, full-bodied red wines. He owns several vineyards in the area, including the famous Côte du Py vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich soils. The combination of the terroir and Foillard's winemaking techniques results in wines that are complex, elegant, and age-worthy.

One of Foillard's signature wines is his Morgon Côte du Py, which is made from 100% Gamay grapes from his Côte du Py vineyard. This wine is known for its deep ruby color, intense aromas of red fruits, and a mineral-driven palate. It has received numerous accolades and high ratings from wine critics, further solidifying Foillard's position as a top producer in the region.

Foillard's commitment to sustainability and organic farming practices is another aspect that sets him apart from other producers in Beaujolais. He believes in preserving the land and its biodiversity, which is reflected in the quality of his wines.
