Jean Foillard : Cuvée Corcelette 2022

The finesse and balance of a Beaujolais red wine

The property

Located in Villié-Morgon, in the heart of the Morgon appellation, the Domain Jean Foillard farms the prestigious terroirs of Côte du Py and Corcelette, as well as plots in Fleurie. Jean Foillard took over the family estate of 8 hectares in 1981, inspired by Marcel Lapierre, to adopt natural viticulture and practices as close as possible to organic farming.

A pioneer of natural wine, the estate perpetuates a faithful and authentic style. Today, the estate extends over 20 hectares and its wines, of rare precision, place it among the elite of Beaujolais.
