Wine Details / Description

Jean Foillard is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Beaujolais' natural wine movement and one of Morgon's most influential producers. Inspired by the philosophy of Jules Chauvet, Foillard farms organically with minimal intervention, relying on whole-cluster fermentation, native yeasts, and careful élevage to preserve the transparency and vitality of each vineyard. His wines have become benchmarks for traditional Gamay, prized for their purity, elegance, and ability to age gracefully.

Cuvée Corcelette is sourced from old vines planted in the sandy granite soils of the Corcelette climat, one of Morgon's highest and coolest vineyard sites. The 2023 vintage captures the freshness and aromatic lift that distinguish this vineyard, balancing expressive red fruit with floral notes, vibrant acidity, and refined structure. Delicate yet deeply complex, it is a beautiful expression of both the Corcelette terroir and Jean Foillard's thoughtful, minimalist approach to winemaking.
