Beaujolais has ten crus, the villages at the top of the region, and Jean Foillard makes wine in two of the most celebrated: Morgon and Fleurie. Morgon is known for its structure and for wines that reward time in the cellar. Fleurie, often called the Queen of Beaujolais, is prized for its floral elegance. The 2024s come from a vintage when a spring frost thinned the crop but left the wines fresh and lively. This release brings the Côte du Py, Corcelette and Fleurie from that year, along with a small parcel of the 2018 Cuvée 3.14.

Meet the Maker: JEAN FOILLARD

Jean Foillard and his wife, Agnès, took over his father’s domaine in Villié-Morgon in 1980. He is one of the four Morgon growers Kermit Lynch christened the Gang of Four, who followed Jules Chauvet’s lead in farming without pesticides and making wine without chaptalisation. In the cellar, Jean works with whole bunches and native yeasts. His son Alex now oversees the vineyards and makes his own wines under the Alex Foillard label.
