    Description Morgon Les Charmes "Eponym'"

    Estate

    Domaine Jean Foillard, located in Villié-Morgon in Beaujolais, is renowned for its natural winemaking approach and terroir-driven wines of great finesse. Jean Foillard is one of the iconic winemakers inspired by Jules Chauvet, a pioneer of natural wines. The estate practices low-intervention agriculture, focusing on soil and vine health.

    Vineyard

    The vines are planted on the granitic slopes of the Morgon cru, one of the ten Beaujolais crus. The soils, composed of decomposed schists known as "rotten rock" (roches pourries), bring structure and minerality to the wine. Old vines are cultivated without herbicides or chemical fertilizers, and yields are kept deliberately low.

    Wine

    This 2020 Morgon stands out for its balance of fruity generosity and depth. It showcases the richness of its terroir with pure aromas and a silky texture. The wine is precise and faithful to Jean Foillard’s natural style.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage saw favorable weather and early harvests. The result is concentrated yet balanced wines, with vibrant freshness and full ripeness. It’s considered an excellent year for Gamay in Beaujolais.

    Vinification & Aging

    Traditional carbonic maceration is used with indigenous yeasts and no additives. The wine is aged in large oak foudres or older barrels for around 6 to 9 months. No fining or filtration is done before bottling.

    Grape Variety

    100% Gamay

    Characteristics & Tasting
