Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette 2022

Jean Foillard’s Morgon Cuvée Corcelette 2022 is a benchmark expression of Beaujolais from one of the region’s most respected natural-minded producers. Sourced from the Corcelette vineyard in Morgon, it combines purity, depth, and old-vine charm with the kind of finesse that has made Foillard a reference point for serious Gamay lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vibrant ruby hue with a bright, transparent core. The nose is lifted and expressive, with red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and subtle earthy spice, alongside the savory, mineral complexity that gives Morgon its distinctive character. On the palate, expect juicy red and dark berry fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a supple, silky texture balanced by fresh acidity. There’s both generosity and precision here, with a naturally elegant finish that can develop beautifully over the next few years; while already approachable, it has the structure to age gracefully for 5 to 8 years or more in a good cellar.

Production
Corcelette is one of Morgon’s prized sites, with soils that contribute a mix of fruit purity, minerality, and depth. Jean Foillard works with a hands-off approach, emphasizing healthy fruit, careful harvesting, and minimal intervention in the cellar to preserve the character of the vineyard and the natural vibrancy of the wine.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally at 14–16°C, to best show its freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with roast poultry, charcuterie, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, and lighter game, and a brief decant can help open the wine if enjoyed young.

Based in Morgon, he has helped elevate the reputation of the appellation through wines that combine authenticity, finesse, and terroir expression, earning him a loyal following among collectors and sommeliers alike.
