On the palate

"The 2012 Morgon Cuvee Corcelette has an attractive, light bouquet that expands nicely with aeration: blackberry and raspberry infused with Morello and iris scents. This seems very natural and composed, coalescing serenely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Though there is not great depth, curtailed by the growing season, it is exquisitely balanced with a pointed, slightly tapered, sour cherry finish." 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.
