Jean Foillard, a masterful Beaujolais winemaker, is celebrated for natural wines that truly express the Morgon terroir. Influenced by Marcel Lapierre, Foillard’s approach favors organic practices and minimal intervention, producing vibrant, complex wines with elegance and depth—particularly from the famed Côte du Py vineyard.
The 2013 vintage for Jean Foillard's wines is known for its freshness, balance, and finesse, thanks to the cooler growing season in Beaujolais. Weather conditions in 2013 were challenging, with a late spring and cooler-than-average summer, which led to a later harvest. These factors resulted in wines with lower alcohol, bright acidity, and a leaner structure compared to warmer vintages.
