Domaine Jean Foillard
Domaine Jean Foillard
Farmed by the legendary husband and wife team of Jean and Agnès Foillard organically since 1985, this producer forms part of the pioneering “Gang of Four” alongside Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton. Completely transforming and reinvigorating Beaujolais as a fine wine region, these four passionate producers have ushered in one of the most exciting periods in the appellation’s long history. Precipitating a slew of beguiling and exceptionally high-quality wines over the past two decades, Foillard typifies the approach used by modern Beaujolais producers in relying on wild yeasts only and rejecting all forms of manipulative winemaking.

Vinous (95)Deep, shimmering violet. Powerful, spice-tinged red and blue fruit preserve and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of musky earth and licorice. Alluringly sweet and seamless in the mouth, offering sappy, mineral-driven black raspberry, cherry liqueur, lavender and five-spice powder flavors that expand through the back half. Finishes extremely long and nervy, with harmonious tannins building steadily and adding solid grip to reverberating cherry and floral notes. |
