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.
2016 vintage in Beaujolais offers freshness and intensity. Despite a challenging season with lower yields, the wines are beautifully concentrated, showing vibrant red fruit, lively acidity, and mineral depth. This vintage is both expressive in its youth and suitable for aging, highlighting Foillard’s classic balance and elegance.
