Jean Foillard - Morgon - Côte du Py - Jéroboam 2023
The Domaine Jean Foillard is a family estate in the Morgon appellation, in Beaujolais. Jean Foillard took over the estate from his father in the 1980s, adding new plots of land to the estate's properties over the following decades. The estate, worked with organic farming, covers 14 hectares, much of which is located on the famous granite and schist hill of the Côte de Py. Most of the plantings are over 40 years old, some as old as 100 years.
The grapes are generally harvested late and the bunches are kept at low temperature for several weeks before the traditional semi-carbonic fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, minimal or no sulfur additions, and no chaptalization or filtration. The wines are aged in oak barrels previously used for Burgundy domain wines.
