Morgon Côte du Py is 100% Gamay Noir from Jean Foillard's 8.6 hectare organic vineyard in Morgon, Beaujolais. 10-90 year old vines on Granite, Schist and Manganese soils. The dark ruby robe, gorgeously perfumed fruit, and silky long finish of this intoxicating cru are a force that can’t be reckoned with.

Jean Foillard (“Fwa-lah”, not “Foy-yard”) is one of the greats – not just for Beaujolais but for the French wine industry as a whole – starting his career as one of the disciples of French winemaking legend Jules Chauvet (together with Yvon Métras, Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton and Jean-Paul Thévenet), he and his wife Agnès have been working their vineyard in Morgon together since 1980.

What seperates Jean Foillard from the rest is his attention to detail, his clarity, and his purity. There is no intervention between his organic vineyard and what goes to bottle and only the cleanest of fruit makes the cut. The wines are incredibly site-driven, speaking only of their vineyard (schist, granite and manganese dominate) and their vintage. They’re brooding, serious wines that never disappoint. Forget varietal typicity, these wines show complete and utter producer typicity.
