Jean Foillard Morgon is natural young village wine that delivers ripe fruit aromas. A silky mouthfeel, powdery tannins and refreshing acidity on the medium-bodied palate. Fruity and fresh cherry flavour with a good dose of minerals alongside its lightly herbal and spiced nature.
100% Gamay. The fruit for this wine comes from old Gamay vines in Morgon, Beaujolais. The vines grow in the unique volcanic hillside terroir, a mix of schist and granite. A natural wine made with minimal intervention in the winery, all the meticulous work is done in the vineyard.
The fruit undergoes a thorough selection at the winery. Whole bunch spontaneous maceration with native yeasts, without destemming, then maturation in vats. Bottling without chaptalisation, filtration and no additional sulphur.
Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early
These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
Carbonic maceration is a form of whole bunch fermentation, when whole bunches of uncrushed grapes ferment from the inside out. It traditionally requires an environment full of CO2, some winemakers allow a percentage of crushed grapes to ferment & release the CO2.
While a natural process, it has been adopted as a stylistic choice to make wines fruiter & soften their tannins

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
