Côte du Py Morgon Gamay

What a pair w/ Crostini, Chervil Sheep Cheese & Duck Confit. 👌

Dark, juicy, lush to mid fruit core, dark cherries, strawberries, hues of blueberries, raspberries, limestone, softened granitic earth, deeper red cola, black & red licorice, baseball card bubble gum, understated fresh herbs, dark, rich, sweet earth, hints of maple syrup, tree bark w/ sap, dark & red florals for days, excellent, round acidity and a well made, balanced, relaxed tension, polished, lush finish that lasts 90 seconds. Delicious.

This is better than some premier cru red burgundies for far less $.

Absolutely one of the top three producers of Grand Cru Gamay.

Ottimo come sempre 😁

Vintage 2020 | playful and serious, really good

Le Phébus x Applewood Manor (Night 1)

Called 2013 Beaujolais. Atypical vintage make for weird notes.

So fckn good. 20 Bojo. Get on it.

After Bouland's Delys I had an immediate urge for Foillard's Côte du Py. Don't judge me...
Showing this to my best pal who lives in Dijon and who literally bathes in Burg. Pinot Noir. I think he likes it too😍.
Cola, cherry, hay, raspberry... Wow this nose doing its trick again. Massive acid backbone, radiant cherry all along with a bit of a Cola note, a bit of tannins in the rear, very gentle, and a super duper long fruity finish that goes on for a long long time. Who can seriously say they don't like it?

Really interesting compared to fleurie and corcellette. Some good green stems but also almost an element of Rutherford soil… or perhaps elects of vineyard specific soil that shines through more than the corcellette. A great wine with strawberry Pomegranite notes on the fruit but that backend isn’t as silky as the other foillard. Not in a bad way but definitely different. More art wine perhaps? Dangerously drinkable.

One of the great ones. So delicious. While Beaujolais wines tend to be fresh, fruity, and fun, this wine presents as rustic, rich, and exotic. Its juicy freshness makes it very approachable, and its refined tannins gives it structure. This is a delicious wine that presents as casual, but is actually low key classic beautiful.

I think this is the best vintage of this I’ve had in a while—should be fun to follow over the next few years.
