Domaine Jean Foillard
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.
Description
Beautiful aromatics, without the overtness of the first two wines. Raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and plum. The palate is ever so bright. Once again red fruits, with a medium weighted palate that’s so vibrant it’s refreshing. I find the tannins powdery and ever-present, caressing the fruit from the get go.
Food Pairing
A hearty stew of white beans and sausage.
