Description

This is an excellent example of Gamay from the fabled Cote du Py of Morgon. A fantastically drinkable, soft & complex Beaujolais.

Jean & Agnès Foillard took over his father’s domaine in 1980, most of their vineyards are planted on the Côte du Py, the famed slope outside the town of Villié-Morgon & the pride of Morgon.

Jean & three other local winemakers, Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet & Guy Breton, are iconic figures in the natural wine movement. This Gang of Four, as they became known, called for a return to the old more natural practices of viticulture & vinification: starting with old vines, never using chemical herbicides or pesticides, harvesting late, rigorously sorting to remove all but the healthiest grapes, adding minimal doses of sulfur dioxide or none at all. Despite his association with the movement, Jean produces precise and extremely fault free wines of aromatic purity and elegance.
