2023 Morgon, Côte du Py, Jean Foillard

Cellar Circle Exclusive

From vines with an average age of 60-years-old, with some as old as 100, grown on the slopes of one of the most famous vineyards in Beaujolais, the extinct volcano that is the “Côte du Puy” in Morgon. The soil here is a mixture of schist - lending mineral notes to the wine and granite - lending spicy notes. This cuvée is aged for around 9 months in used oak barrels and is bottled unfiltered, unfined and with minimal sulphur. Incredibly complex and attractive on the nose, black cherry, blackberry, spice, crushed stone and earthiness. This is layered and textural, sapid and vibrant. An impressive core of acidity keeps it fresh, integrating skilfully with the fine-grained tannins. The finish is long, with a hint of fresh black pepper. Delicious today, but don’t be afraid to age this.
