Jean Foillard Morgon Corcelette 2019

Jean Foillard is a family estate in the Beaujolais region of France. It is best known for a range of red wines from the Morgon appellation. The wines have a reputation for combining lushness and fresh fruit aromas with depth, complexity and structure, which gives them not only great appeal when young but also considerable aging potential. The wines avoid the bubblegum aromas that can be associated with the Gamay grape and Beaujolais winemaking. Grapes are generally harvested late and clusters are kept at low temperature for several weeks before traditional semi-carbonic fermentation, with ambient yeasts, minimal or no sulfur additions, and no chaptalization or filtration. Wines are aged in used barrels sourced from estates in Burgundy.
