Tasting notes

Deep ruby. Intense aromas of black cherry, plum, violet and a mineral, smoky note. The palate is structured and dense, with firm yet ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long, stony finish. Serve slightly below room temperature in a large glass, letting it breathe briefly to reveal its full aromatic range.

About this wine

Jean and Agnès Foillard took over the family estate in Villié-Morgon in 1980 and are now among the most respected names in Beaujolais. Together with Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet and Guy Breton they formed the so-called "Gang of Four", inspired by Jules Chauvet's ideas on natural wine.

The vineyards are farmed organically, fermentation uses whole bunches through carbonic maceration, and sulphur is added sparingly, only before bottling. The wine comes from the slopes of the Côte du Py hill, one of the most distinctive climats of Morgon, and ages 6-9 months in used oak.
