Domaine Jean Foillard wines have achieved cult like status in Morgon.

The 2022 Morgon Côte du Py Vieilles Vignes is a quintessential expression of Jean Foillard’s commitment to natural winemaking and the unique terroir of Morgon.  Crafted from 100% Gamay grapes sourced from old vines, some over 60 years old, planted on the renowned Côte du Py’s granite and schist soils, this wine embodies the depth and elegance characteristic of the region.

It opens in the glass with an inviting bouquet of ripe red fruits, including raspberry and cherry, complemented by floral notes and subtle hints of spice and minerality. The palate is fresh and vibrant, showcasing juicy red fruit flavours with a velvety texture. Well-integrated acidity and fine tannins provide structure, leading to a persistent and elegant finish.

While approachable now, the 2022 Morgon Côte du Py Vieilles Vignes has the potential to evolve gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years.
