JEAN FOILLARD

Jean Foillard is a natural wine producer from Beaujolais known for being an original member of the legendary 'gang of four', who are credited with pioneering natural wine in the 80's - refusing to capitalise their wines like their neighbours and favouring organic treatments in the vineyards and cellar. Foillard is perhaps most famous for his Morgon wines, in particular his "Cote du Py" - a highly sought after wine which is known to age gracefully. This Cote du Py plot in Morgon is an extinct volcanic hill with rich soils and old vines.
