Jean Foillard - Morgon Classique
Gamay
France, Beaujolais, Morgon
Jean Foillard is one of the superstars of Morgon. Early on, he began to follow the teachings of Jules Chauvet, a traditionalist who defied everything that the commercial, conventional brands were touting in the region.
Jean and three other local vignerons, Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet and Guy Breton, called for a return to the old practices of viticulture and vinification: starting with old vines, never using synthetic herbicides or pesticides, harvesting late, rigorously sorting to remove all but the healthiest grapes, adding minimal doses of sulfur dioxide or none at all and refusing both chaptalization (sugar addition) and filtration.
The tale about the Gang of Four is born.
This splendid Morgon wine lives up to its reputation.
The aroma is captivating with fresh red berries, cinnamon and a subtle smoke trace.
The palate is rich and layered, with crisp red berries, juicy cherries, marzipan and herbal hints.
Elegant and lavish with a lively acidity and persistent spicy finish.
A wine of remarkable finesse.
