Jean Foillard’s Vieilles Vignes Côte du Py is produced in the Morgon AOC from vineyards on the Côte du Py hillside in Villié-Morgon. The vineyard’s unique terroir is defined by decomposed granite, schist, and blue volcanic stones. Crafted by natural wine pioneer Jean Foillard using traditional techniques, the wine reflects both its youthful character and potential for development over time.
