Morgon Cote du Py, Jean Foillard, 2020
Morgon Cote du Py, Jean Foillard, 2020, Jean Foillard
A cult classic and one of the world's great value fine wines. Jean Foillard's Cote du Py is the reference point for Morgon and the wines show exceptional balance, even in the warmer vintages, with a mesmerising balance between complexity and finesse.
Cote du Py, is a volcanic hillside planted with ancient Gamay vines in Morgon,. The wines are made with minimal intervention in the winery - all the meticulous work is done in the vineyard.
2020 is a ripe year, but as ever Foillard manages a superlative balance in the wine - full bodies, layered and complex, yet still fresh, focused and vibrant. Utterly captivating from start to finish.
