Jean Foillard’s 2022 Fleurie is Gamay in its most graceful, intoxicating form—luminous, silky, and packed with pure, wild-fruited charm.

Fleurie is known as the most floral of the Beaujolais crus, and Foillard leans all the way in—think violets, crushed strawberries, sweet herbs, and that whisper of stony minerality running underneath. It’s light-bodied but layered, with fine, supple tannins and a cool, effortless energy that makes every sip feel alive.

Farmed organically and vinified with Foillard’s signature gentle touch (minimal sulfur, native yeasts), this is a wine that feels both joyful and quietly profound. Drink it young for its vivid freshness, or let it soften into even silkier depths over the next few years.

Perfect for: roast chicken, charcuterie boards, mushroom dishes, or just those nights when you want a red that feels a little bit like falling in love.

Left Jean Foillard

Jean Foillard is a member of the Gang of Four. No, that’s not an underground East Village band from the 1980s, but four guys who make really good wine in the Beaujolais Cru of Morgon. They are linked together by two things. Two dudes, actually. The first is Jules Chauvet, who figured out how to make clean and pure wine in Beaujolais without the use of sulphur. Chauvet never really made it big in America as a winemaker; Beaujolais just wasn't considered a "great" wine back in the '80s. But he taught Foillard — and the three others, Lapierre, Breton, and Thevenet — how to do it themselves.

The second dude is Kermit Lynch, who fell in love with the magic of what they were doing, back when all his neighbors in California were drinking Chardonnay with ice cubes. To this day, Kermit imports all four producers. They're all great, of course… But we all have our favorites. If like many of us you prefer Beaujolais with depth and age-ability, then Foillard is probably your fave.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Fleurie has a beautifully defined nose with wonderful mineralité like Foillard's other cuvées, surfeited with energy. There’s real purity and panache. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of mulberry on the entry and fine depth, lightly spiced with a vibrant and persistent finish tinged with curry leaf. This is a Fleurie from the top drawer. Excellent." -Vinous
