2024 Jean Foillard Morgon Corcelette

Sourced from 60–80-year-old Gamay vines rooted in the sandy, decomposed granite soils of the Corcelette lieu-dit in Villié-Morgon. This is an expression of Beaujolais' grandest terroirs, where the sandy granite produces a distinctly more perfumed, ethereal style of Morgon compared to the Côte du Py bottling. The wine offers a lighter, more floral profile without sacrificing depth or longevity. Raised in older barrels sourced from top estates in Burgundy, this 100% Gamay exemplifies purity and precision, built to last but equally joyful now.
