Beaujolais-Villages Jean Foillard 2024

Jean Foillard helped mainstream both the natural wine movement and the realization that Beaujolais can be complex and a long-lived wine. His Beaujolais-Village is juicy, floral and refreshing - perfect for the everyday. For this over-delivering Beaujolais-Villages, Jean sources organic grapes from excellent parcels around his village of Villié-Morgon and ages the wine through an extended élevage more akin to that of his renowned Morgons than to other regional bottlings. Accordingly, the wine evolves slowly, becoming more poised and complete. Evoking pomegranate, rhubarb, and black tea, the result is a beautiful initiation to Jean’s house style, distinguished by a mesmerizing tension between depth, density, silkiness, and elegance.
