Fruit from two of the best plots within Fleurie, gets the Foillard treatment. A level of fruit density not often seen in these parts, allied with some unbelievable freshness. These bottlings are always so good with some age, but my god it’s hard to leave them be.

Beaujolais icon Jean Foillard is among France’s most revered vignerons—a fact that becomes readily apparent when you look at the stocklists of Paris’ cavistes.
While these knowledgeable and well-connected sommeliersÂ
What the cavistes and their customers know is that there may be no more consistently fine red wines in all of France than Foillard’s Morgons and Fleurie. Every year, Jean’s masterful touch captures his site’s magical terroirs and the unique character of the vintage with astonishing depth and purity.
In charge of his family’s domaine since 1980, Foillard is a charter member of the quartet of Morgon growers mentored by the great Jules Chauvet, father of the French natural wine movement. Jean’s méthode ancienne means tending his vines organically, a 3-4 week traditional whole-cluster vinification, aging in neutral oak barrels, and doesn’t chaptalize or filter his wines.
