On the palate

This Morgon is fabulously pure, an unfiltered, unfined, unsulphured Gamay. Its colour is on the dark side of cloudy ruby red, whilst aromas boom happily out of the glass, notably kirsch, rhubarb and sweet blackberries; there’s a more fugitive bouquet of warm earth, stones and dried spice evolving into dark chocolate and cinnamon. It is extremely refreshing, bright sweet fruit is complemented by a smooth, silky tannic structure, somehow immediate and pleasing yet subtle and complex.

Domaine Jean Foillard is a leader in natural wines and uses only small amounts of S0₂. 'These are wines with presence and weight matiere packed to the rafters with fistfuls of fruit without excessive or obvious effort ' says Neal Martin. This includes keeping whole clusters of grapes in vats for 2 to 3 weeks at a low temperature before fermentation using only natural yeast no pumping no fining and no filtration. Furthermore Jean Foillard ages his wine in barrels brought from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti; the results are sublime. He is a cult wine hero amongst the many young free-spirited vignerons in France who are now looking back to nature to make fine wine.
