the jean foillard estate, which is undeniably one of the most mythical in the beaujolais region, is established on about 20 hectares, with the vines covering mainly the morgon and fleurie appellations. jean foillard, son and grandson of a winegrower who took over the family estate in 1981, was inspired by marcel lapierre to cultivate his vines in a way that is as close as possible to organic and natural methods. in the cellar, his precise and delicate vinifications without sulfur, very close to the fruit, give an incomparable silkiness to his wines. the winemaker's idea is to produce wines that are alive by a meticulous work "under the microscope" to quote the words of the revue du vin de france. the wines, natural, are distinguished by their intensity of fruit, their freshness, their balance between greediness and structure, wines that one takes pleasure in tasting immediately, but also after several years in the cellar. it is an absolute reference of the beaujolais that we present to you, a real favorite of our teams. the future of this domain is in good hands, jean passing on all his know-how to his son alex, who also has some vines that he exploits under his own name in brouilly and côte-de-brouilly. foillard is a promising name that continues to contribute to the dynamism of the region. the jewel of the morgon cru, jean foillard's "côte du py" is the estate's flagship cuvée, the one that has earned it a growing reputation over the years. with his vines remarkably located on beautiful slopes near the summit, jean foillard has known how to get the best out of this great terroir. and this, thanks to a culture close to the bio carried out with methods inspired by those of marcel lapierre. in the cellar, the idea is to let the grape (= gamay) express its identity as well as that of the terroir from which it has drawn the substance. this is why the vinifications are carried out in a "natural" spirit. the indigenous yeasts start the fermentation process alone and no sulfur is used. the tasting reveals to the wine lover a delicious wine because fruity and offering a unique velvety sensation in mouth. depending on the quality and intensity of the vintage, it can be enjoyed between three and eight years.
