Jean Foillard, 'Côte du Py' Morgon 2019

Jean Foillard helped mainstream both the natural wine movement and the realization that Beaujolais can be complex, sought-after wine. This bottle is from Morgon, one of the best crus in Beaujolais. More specifically, it’s from the Cote du Py, the best place to grow grapes in Morgon. What happens when you combine a world-class winemaker with world-class vineyards? You get the best wine. It has flavors you’d expect from Red Burgundy a few miles north. 

Tastes like: Plum, roses, blackberry, and licorice.

How to drink: Let it breathe for half an hour. A great red for cooked seafood. Roast chicken is a dreamy pairing too.
