Jean’s wines, like the Beaujolais itself, have a way of bringing you squarely home.
There is something no-nonsense and straightforward about Foillard’s wine. It seems to say, let’s cut straight to deliciousness. Deliciousness with class. It has a wonderful texture going down. The finesse from start to finish seems almost offhanded. With vines unaltered by herbicides or pesticides, and every grape cluster twisted from the vine by hand, this is pure Beaujolais, and there is nothing better. - Robert Parker 92
The Fleurie bottling is always gorgeous and penetrating sourced from a 1-hectare parcel comprised of 20 to 70 year-old vines that are grown on unique pink sandstone. Traditional whole cluster fermentation that last from 3-4 weeks to preserve the fruit and earth purity. Aged 6 to 9 months in used oak barrels. Low SO2 added.
