Jean Foillard Eponym' Les Charmes Morgon Gamay 2016
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 should all be looking at them. They are a joy to drink in their youth in all their energy and freshness and are endlessly versatile at the table at all stages of their life.andnbsp;This is a fairly new cuvandeacute;eandnbsp;for Foillard, from 50 year old vines in the high-altitude site of Les Charmes. The stony soils coupled with the elevation here translates to a distinctly mineral and red fruited expression of Morgon.

More fruit driven and less funk than other '15 and '14 Folliart's. Still a pleasure.

Light on its feet with a great bouquet of raspberries and cherries. Pop and pour for a food friendly juicy wine.

Cranberry and red fruit. Mild earthy funk. Slightly effervescent on night one, settled into something richer on night two. Could sit for a few years easily. Comes in a step below some other Foillard offerings, but a great wine in its own right.

Not a huge Gamay fan but I can appreciate the quality of this wine. Nose had truffles and bacon fat and the mouth had silky tannins, lots of acidity, baked eggplant and blackberry flavors. More mineral and meat than floral and fruit.
