JEAN FOILLARD

Jean Foillard wines from Beaujolais region in France
Jean Foillard is a natural wine producer from Beaujolais known for being an original member of the legandary 'gang of four', whio are credited with pioneering natural wine in the 80's - refusing to chapitalize their wines like their neighbours and favouring organic treatments in the vineyards and cellar, with minimal sulphur use alongside no filtration and attempting to make Beaujolais Gamay the light expression it should be, rather than the powerhouse wines which Parkerisation had made many others in the region TRY to adapt it to. Jean Foillard is perhaps most famous for his Morgon wines, which in particular his "Cote du Py" bottle a highly sought after wine to age gracefully. This Cote du Py plot in Morgon is an extinct volcanic hill with rich soils and old vines. It's truly an experience to enjoy.
