Not much VA in this one. Rather unctuous, which surprised. Nice length, bright red fruit. Delightful!

Ruby color, cloudy, typical of unfiltered wines. evolved nose, peppery, compote, strawberry and red fruits at 110%. Intensely greedy

Couleur rubis, trouble, typique des vins non filtrés. nez évolué, poivré, compoté, fraise et fruits rouges à 110%. Intensément gourmand.

Always as much pleasure, with Foillard wines. 2016 is perfectly to my taste. Between the juicy crunch of youth, and the more aerial floral character that the Morgons develop as they age. A juice that pinote with truffled and undergrowth notes. Delight of finesse.

Toujours autant de plaisir, avec les vins de Foillard. 2016 est parfaitement à mon goût. Entre le croquant juteux de jeunesse, et le caractère plus aérien floral que les Morgon développent en vieillissant. Un jus qui pinote avec des notes truffées et sous bois. Régal de finesse.

100% Gamay from vineyards on granite and slate soils in Morgon, one of Beaujolais’ the top 10 crus. Cold carbonic maceration. Fermented with native yeasts for 3-4 weeks and then aged for 4-5 months in stainless steel.

Simpler than it’s bigger brother, but still quite charming and chuggable. More of a classic expression of Gamay and without much depth - it does bring that Foillard-mineralty or whatever you want to call it.

Carbonic explosion of fruity rushes and juciy balance.

Silky on nose, red summer berries, good easy/aperitif structure with smooth tanins

Några snäpp under de dyrare Cru-varianterna, men för 16€ är det bra.
