The Foillard vineyard exists since the father of Jean Foillard started doing wines. The Domaine as it's known today, comprising of 14 hectares ruled by Jean and Agnès, started in 1980. It is grounded on the famous area of Côte du Py, near the village of Villié-Morgon. Such a great location is not the only key to the vineyard's success. Soon after the beginning of his activities, Jean began to switch the vineyard's farming towards more natural and responsible processes. Contrary to the trends of the Beaujolais area, Jean Foillard started working with old vines, later harvests, rigorous sorting and no addition of sulfur if possible. Following these natural methods allows the real potential of Morgon to be released. Wines are raised in older barrels from Burgundy, a logical decision for someone crafting Gamay in a Burgundian style.

FARMING: The grapes for Foillard Fleurie come from three old vineyards located on slopes with granitic sandy soils. All together there are no more than 2 hectares. The harvest is carried out manually to preserve the integrity of the grape and to ensure that an initial selection of bunches can be made in the field.
WINEMAKING: Once in the winery the Foillard Fleurie harvest is vatted whole and without destemming in order to ferment in the traditional Burgundy way, undergoing carbonic maceration. The vintage ferments with native yeasts at a low temperature for about 3 or 4 weeks. Lastly, the wine is aged for 6 to 9 months in French oak barrels. No use sulphur throughout the whole winemaking process.
TASTING NOTES: Excellent concentration and stunning elegance, in spite of a serious tannin structure that gives so much drive & energy at the stunningly fresh finish. Medium bodied, aromatic notes of flowers and red berries.
