STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Jean Foillard could be considered as a high priest of minimum intervention, and is one of the most highly regarded vignerons in the whole of France.With a commitment to making wines as natural as possible long before it became fashionable, he is a Sommelier’s dream producer. Not all Beaujolais are the same.Those from the Morgon Cru, while still retaining that signature juicy freshness, have more structure and depth and are comparable to quality Pinot Noir from just down the road in Burgundy. You can’t say you know Beaujolais until a you’ve tried a Jean Foillard
