Jean Foillard Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2018
The Foillard name carries as much weight as any producer in Beaujolais, and for good reason. When the wines are on form, and they certainly are in 2018, they represent some of the most complete bottles of the category. These exemplify exactly why we adore top Beaujolais so much in the first place. Jean Foillard's bottles are not inexpensive in the context of Beaujolais, but they are immensely affordable in the context of top Burgundy, which is frankly how we look at them.andnbsp;Foillard's Cote du Py is the calling card from this great estate, sourced from old vines planted in the decomposed schist that defines this famous hillside in Morgon.andnbsp; It has brooding dark fruit lifted by impeccable freshness and minerality.

Dark, bright-hued ruby. An expansive, complex bouquet evokes ripe cherry and black raspberry, along with pungent floral, exotic spice and earth notes. Stains the palate with sweet red and dark berry, lavender pastille and fruitcake flavors that spread out steadily and become livelier on the back half. Conveys a suave blend of richness and energy and finishes impressively long and juicy, with harmonious tannins and resonating florality. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2021)

This was a beautiful red. Had by itself. Would be next level paired with the right meal. Bright and red juicy with a nice rounded finish.

Blueberry pie and incredible freshness. Delightful garnet to the eye, it’s incredibly rich but equally elegant.
