2024 Jean Foillard, Morgon, Cuvee Corcelette

Jean Foillard is a prominent producer based in Villié-Morgon, where he and his wife Agnès established their estate in 1981 as part of the influential "Gang of Four" dedicated to traditional, low-intervention farming. This cuvée is made from Gamay grown in an 80-year-old parcel situated in the Corcelette lieu-dit, where the vines are rooted in distinct sandstone soils. The wine shows clear aromas of fresh red fruit and subtle spice, balanced by a refined, mineral-driven texture that emphasizes elegance over intensity. The 2024 vintage favored a fresh and delicate profile, resulting in a wine that is approachable and bright in its youth. This is a balanced, transparent expression of its site that is ready to enjoy tonight but possesses the structure to evolve with time in the cellar.
