Jean Foillard has been doing "natural" for 40 years (the field is being officially certified to organic farming, but has adopted these practices for a long time!) Which we consider to be the perfect balance between fruit and structure, Which allows its Morgon and Fleurie to be tasted young but also after "refining" long years in a good cellar.
Jean Foillard took over the small family vineyard of 8 hectares in 1981 and has since stored a unique experience. He knows his terroirs by heart and vinifies with an exemplary meticulousness and regularity: Always at low temperature, with a carbonic maceration on whole harvests to obtain brilliant aromas, fruity and velvety which are his trademark, without concession on the freshness that characterizes the greatest black gamayes with white juice. The unavoidable vine of Crus du Beaujolais, of which Morgon and Fleurie are undoubtedly among the best
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Neal Martin, juin 2014): one of the best Beaujolais producers, according to my appreciation of the complexity and unfettered deliciousness of these wines. What I like is the substance to these wines, perhaps more so than Marcel/Mathieu Lapierre's own take on Morgon. These are wines with presence and weight, matiere, packed to the rafters with fistfuls of fruit without excessive or obvious effort.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Yay! After last year's communication breakdown when I rushed down from fellow biodynamic proponent Lalou Bize-Leroy to Jean Foillard only to find nobody there (right place, wrong day), I was pleased to meet Jean Foillard again, this time at Château Thivin where he was showing his wines with Domaine Chignard. "Foillard" itself has become the name to drop when discussing quality Beaujolais, ditto when thinking of biodynamics alongside Lapierre and Lapalu, to name but two. But Jean Foillard is certainly the most well-known and it is remarkable how his prices remain so modest given the acclaim. Long may that last. Doubtless I am hampering that ideal by lavishing praise on his latest releases from the 2014 vintage, except for the Morgon Cuvée 3.14, the 2013 being the latest release from Jean's oldest vines. This is normally held up as his crown jewel although personally I prefer his Côte du Py and La Corcelette, two brilliant expressions of Morgon from its two finest vineyards. In 2014 they are joined by a third, the so-called "Les Charmes Eponym," though this comes from purchased fruit. I have regaled Foillard's wines just like my predecessors - these are wonderful, life-affirming expressions of Beaujolais, perhaps showing a little more body than say Lapierre, with superb tension and energy. If you are still under the misguided belief that Beaujolais cannot make world class wine, then you have not tasted the wines from Jean Foillard.

Côte du Py is a parcel cuvée from Jean Foillard, originating from one of the most illustrious terroirs of Beaujolais. Like in Burgundy, it is a very specific climate that gives Morgon its reputation and, in great years, produces a few rare bottles of the exceptional cuvée "3.14" (which will be released after a long aging at the domaine). Note that upon...

This Fleurie by Foillard is undoubtedly the best in this appellation, more accessible in its youth than its neighbor Morgon. Nevertheless, upon their release from the winemaker's cellars in November 2025, these 2023s were still quite closed and deserved a few weeks (months?) of refinement before tasting.

A very beautiful climate of Morgon isolated in a cuvée that is crunchy and fruity from the start, always refined as is typical of Corcelette. However, it can age for a few years without deteriorating, quite the opposite. In fact, when they are released from the winemaker's cellars in November 2025, these 2023s were still quite closed and deserved a few...

The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (K. Wells, mai 2024), 92/100. Sourced from the Champ*agne lieu-dit, the 2021 Fleurie demonstrates all the luscious qualities that a 2021 could have, with velvety notes of red cherries, spiced plums, crushed purple petals and vine smoke. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has precision and balance with its just-ripe fruit and...
