Jean Foillard Beaujolais Villages Gamay 2017
Jean Foillard is one of the original members of the andldquo;Gang of Four,andrdquo; pioneering winemakers who turned away from industrial production in favor of the traditional approach to Beaujolais production we love. Foillard's Beaujolais Villages is an immense value from one of the best producers in the region. This wine comes from old vines planted in four plots around the region that are farmed organically. It's fermented slowly with native yeast in cement andamp; allowed to rest in cellar for 6-8 months, before being bottled with low doses of sulfur. It doesn't have the staying power of the cru bottlings but retains all the freshness and fun one would expect from great bottle of Beaujolais.

If I had to choose what distinguishes Foillard over other vintners , it would his exquisite balance-it’s perfect at least to my palate. Dark cherry profile on nose & palate, straightforward in the enjoyment quotient. Cost is about what Crus are now, but it’s worth it-his Crus are now in the 40/50+ $ range, so just a wee bit out of my wallet range ( if I wish to maintain my marriage

Drank after a dank, remarkably humid & hot summer day, & cannot emphasize enough how welcoming this tasted. Black cherries predominate, has a touch of eety bitty fine tannins but this is really about gorgeous, meticulous fruit. Next time I’ll let it breathe, if I can resist the gulping thing. Kermit importer. Part of 1 of a 3 pack I was able to snag.

Rich but bright, gorgeous, smooth dark fruit, integrated bramble. Mouth-fillingly delicious. Amazing value.

In a sea of wine during a wine tasting marathon, this little gem stood out for not taking itself too seriously. Terrific red fruit profile. Juicy. Fun. Serve chilled and all will be

2017 has nice bright cherry with a hint of spice. Exposure to air brings out ripe dark fruit. Nice acidity
