Collection: Jean Foillard

In thirty years, Jean Foillard has established himself as an iconic name in Beaujolais, alongside the wines of Marcel Lapierre. His wines combine lusciousness and silky sensations on the palate, while offering great aging potential.

His Gamay grapes, planted on Mont Py in schist and volcanic rock soils, are harvested at full maturity without herbicides or synthetic products. His style is based on cold maceration, which allows for the extraction of intense fruit aromas and a characteristic velvety tannin structure. The grapes are harvested using carbonic maceration, a method typical of Beaujolais, and the wines are aged for less than a year in oak barrels. They are neither sulfited nor fined, guaranteeing exceptional fruit purity and a profound expression of the terroir.
This commitment to naturalness and precision in winemaking results in exceptionally refined wines, crafted by a discreet winemaker whose consistent excellence is universally recognized. Jean Foillard embodies the authenticity and integrity of Beaujolais, offering pure and elegant wines that fully reflect the characteristics of their terroirs.

"Jean Foillard is one of the key names in the Beaujolais wine region. With a firm hand, he has maintained a free yet consistent style, resulting in wines of remarkable quality and depth." - Revue des Vins de France
