Jean Foillard, Morgon Cuvee Corcelette, 2021
From one of the Gang of Four. Jean Foillard — alongside Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton — is part of the legendary Beaujolais quartet who answered Jules Chauvet's call to refuse pesticides, chaptalization, and sulfur. Foillard has been at the helm since 1980 and his Morgons are now among the most coveted wines in the natural-wine world. Corcelette is a single-vineyard cuvée from a sandy-soiled site in the higher reaches of Morgon, with vines averaging 80 years old — softer in style than the powerful Côte du Py, but layered, mineral, and refined. The 2021 vintage was small (frost, cool spring), and the wine reflects that — a leaner, more chiseled Corcelette, taut and tense, made with the full Foillard method: whole-cluster, native yeast, neutral oak, no filtration.
