Energy drives the 2023 Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py, with pure dark berry fruit layered over mineral-inflected earth and a subtle smoky nuance. The palate is sleek yet concentrated, carried by precise acidity and fine, tightly woven tannins that stretch into a long, pepper-tinged finish. This vintage feels especially refined and focused, promising superb evolution in bottle.

Jean Foillard’s Morgon Côte du Py is a benchmark Cru Beaujolais from old-vine Gamay grown on the famed schist- and granite-rich hill above Villié-Morgon, yielding deep, structured yet silky wines that vividly express this powerful terroir. Farmed organically and made with whole-cluster, low-intervention methods then aged in older Burgundian barrels, it combines pure, dark-fruited intensity with floral lift, spicy minerality, and notable capacity to age.
