Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais' greats, a member of Kermit Lynch's "Gang of Four" and a father of natural wine whose Cote du Py is a benchmark of living, no-makeup Beaujolais. Cote du Py is the famous blue-schist hilltop at the heart of Morgon, and Foillard's old-vine bottling from it is his most serious, structured wine, deep, mineral and built to age. Made from old Gamay via patient semi-carbonic fermentation. The 2013 came from a cool, fresh vintage; a decade on, it's settling into a savory, mature stride.

"Deep ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark berries and candied violet, joined by slowly emerging hints of blood orange and cured meat. Palate-staining black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors unfurl and become sweeter with air, picking up an exotic touch of star anise on the back half. The mineral and floral notes come back strong on the clinging, gently tannic finish, adding energy and strong closing lift." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

"The 2013 Morgon Côte du Py has an enticing bouquet of strawberry pastilles, cranberry and light floral scents intermingling with vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied, with precise tannin on the tart cherry entry. There is plenty of tension and race in this Morgon with its lifted red fruit, though it finishes showing some youthful feistiness and needs another 18 to 24 months to calm down. Still, this is a very fine Morgon from Jean Foillard – just give a little patience." —Neal Martin

"Superb perfume – some stemmy notes, violet, black cherry, pepper – a real showboater. Superfine tannin, excellent persistence – this is Beaujolais in full pomp."

More about Jean Foillard

Jean Foillard is a natural-wine icon and charter member of Beaujolais' legendary 'gang of four'—those who answered Jules Chauvet's call to refuse pesticides, chaptalisation, and filtration. For half a century, his 14 organically farmed hectares have produced Morgon from the famed Côte du Py, with its roches pourries (rotten rock) of decomposed granite and schist. His wines are serious, lush, and utterly unforgettable.
