Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py has a weightless elegance that also carries incredible depth and concentration. Silk mouthfeel, refreshing acidity and feathery tannins on the light-bodied palate. Mesmerising cherry and raspberry flavours with a brilliant mineral ribbon fluttering through to the fore.
100% Gamay.
Côte du Py is a volcanic hillside planted with ancient Gamay vines in Morgon, Beaujolais. This wine is made with minimal intervention in the winery, all the meticulous work is done in the vineyard.
Hand harvesting and total destemming of the fruit. Three day maceration with pigeage every 3 hours, alcoholic fermentation with autochthonous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages for
4 months in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees, plus 20 months in deroble barrels.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
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!
