Morgon Côte Du Py Domaine Foillard Jean, 2024

Morgon Côte du Py from Domaine Foillard Jean is a standout expression of Beaujolais cru wine, offering serious depth and mineral character from one of the appellation’s most respected hillside sites. Known for its purity, structure, and age-worthy style, this is a wine that captures both the charm of Gamay and the pedigree of Côte du Py’s volcanic soils.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vivid ruby color with youthful brightness. The nose is lifted and expressive, with red berries, dark cherry, violet, and subtle earthy and stony notes. On the palate, expect a lively yet layered wine with juicy fruit, fine tannins, and a distinctly mineral backbone that gives the wine real definition. Depending on the vintage, Morgon Côte du Py can be surprisingly serious and rewarding with time, with the potential to develop savory complexity over several years in bottle.

Production
Côte du Py is one of Morgon’s most celebrated climats, known for its steep slopes and volcanic, iron-rich soils that lend structure and minerality to the wine. Domaine Foillard is well known for harvesting with great attention to ripeness, and the wines are generally made with a focus on preserving freshness and site expression through gentle vinification and minimal intervention.

Food & Serving
This wine is a great match for roasted chicken, duck, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and grilled pork. Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and consider opening it in advance or decanting briefly if it is showing especially youthful.
