Jean Foillard Cote du Py Morgon 2024 750ml
Description
Jean Foillard Cote du Py Morgon 2024 is a benchmark red wine from one of Beaujolais’ most respected growers. Made from 100% Gamay, it comes from the famed Cote du Py slope in the Morgon cru. This hill of granite, schist, and volcanic stone gives the wine its depth, mineral edge, and quiet power.Jean Foillard farms with a light touch and follows a low-intervention cellar style. The fruit is hand harvested, then fermented with native yeasts and whole clusters. After fermentation, the wine ages in used oak barrels. As a result, the fruit stays pure, while the texture gains polish and depth.The aroma opens with wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, and violet. Then notes of plum, crushed stone, dried herbs, and sweet spice begin to unfold. Meanwhile, a subtle earthy tone adds the savory depth that makes Cote du Py so distinctive.On the palate, this Morgon feels silky, fresh, and finely structured. Red berry, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate move across a mineral frame. In addition, fine tannins give the wine shape without making it heavy. The finish is long, lifted, and lightly savory, with lingering fruit, spice, and stony freshness.Serve it slightly cool with roast chicken, duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with herb-roasted vegetables and bistro-style fare. For buyers seeking serious Beaujolais with elegance, energy, and cellar-worthy character, Jean Foillard Cote du Py Morgon 2024 is a standout choice.
