On the palate

Aromas of cherries and strawberries mingle with hints of licorice and spices, introducing the 2017 Morgon Corcelette, a medium to full-bodied, layered wine that's fleshy and gourmand, with ripe acids and a generous core of fruit but displays a firmer chassis of powdery tannin than the Eponym this year. It was hit hard by hail, but Foillard has crafted a terrific wine all the same. WA

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.
