Morgon "Corcelette" 2021 Jean Foillard

Jean Foillard's 2021 Morgon "Corcelette" is a benchmark for naturally made Beaujolais. Sourced exclusively from Gamay grapes grown in the famed Corcelette lieu-dit, located northwest of Villié-Morgon, the vines thrive on decomposed pink granite and sandy soils, yielding wines of elegance and complexity.

A key figure of the natural wine movement, Foillard farms organically (though uncertified) and vinifies without additives or manipulations: hand-harvested grapes, whole-cluster spontaneous fermentation, and semi-carbonic maceration lasting up to 4 weeks. The wine then rests for at least 6 months in used Burgundy barrels, followed by further bottle aging.

In the glass, it shows a brilliant ruby-red color with magenta hues. The nose is floral and mineral, revealing violet, wild strawberry jam, wet stone and salty nuances. On the palate, it is supple and vibrant, with silky tannins, marked freshness, and a finish of crystalline precision.

A soulful, terroir-driven wine that perfectly captures the spirit of artisanal Morgon.

JEAN FOILLARD

Jean Foillard is one of the leading figures behind the qualitative renaissance of Beaujolais and a benchmark producer of Gamay from the Morgon cru. A spiritual disciple of Jules Chauvet and Marcel Lapierre, he transformed his family estate into a global reference point. His wines are crafted through artisan practices, spontaneous fermentations, and minimal sulfur use, expressing finesse, depth, and a strong sense of terroir. With around 15 hectares between Morgon and Fleurie, Foillard produces wines that are silky, elegant, and capable of aging, often developing Pinot Noir-like complexity over time.
