Domaine Jean Foillard

👨‍🌾 History and Family

  • Origins: Jean Foillard, son and grandson of winegrowers, took over the family estate in 1981 in Villié-Morgon.

  • Inspired by Marcel Lapierre, pioneer of natural wine, he committed to respectful viticulture, close to organic, without artifices.

  • From the 1980s onwards, he was among the first winemakers to practice natural vinifications, becoming a leading figure of the movement.

📍 Location and Surface

  • The estate is located in Villié-Morgon, at the heart of the Morgon appellation in Beaujolais.

  • Surface area: about 16 to 20 hectares of vines.

  • Iconic terroirs: the mythical Côte du Py and the renowned Corcelette, as well as some plots in Fleurie.

🌱 Philosophy and Practices

  • Organic-style viticulture (not certified): respect for soils and natural balance.

  • Manual harvests with fully ripe grapes.

  • Natural vinifications: carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, no added sulfur or very little depending on the cuvées.

  • Aging in old barrels (never new oak), to preserve fruit purity.

🍇 Grapes and Cuvées

  • Single grape variety: Gamay, showcased in its finest expressions.

  • Signature cuvées:

    • Morgon Côte du Py (freshness, structure, depth)

    • Corcelette (elegance and finesse)

    • Classic Morgon

    • Fleurie (delicate floral character)
