The Jean Foillard wines are some of the very finest coming out of Beaujolais. Jean and his wife Agnès live just outside the small village of Ville-Morgon, and their vineyard holdings include those collected by Jean since he began making wine in 1982, as well as some inherited from Agnes' parents. Cote du Py is an elevated plot (within the Morgon appellation) on an extinct volcano with black soil that's known to produce wines of extraordinary structure and complexity that can be expressive in a way not commonly seen in Beaujolais. This stunning 2020 Morgon is big and bold, yet gentle and soft. Displaying berries, black fruit and plums, floral notes, spice and fine tannin, this is an absolute stunner out of Beaujolais, of a calibre that may just convince you that the finest wines out of this region can be as expressive as any. Sensational!
