he Wine

The grapes for the Fleurie come from three old vineyards located on slopes with granitic sandy soils. All together there are no more than 2 hectares. The harvest is carried out manually to preserve the integrity of the grape and to ensure that an initial selection of bunches can be made in the field.

'Fresh hay on the nose, wet wheat field and moss. Light and living, charged with herbs, cranberry, and strawberry. Jean’s wines, like the Beaujolais itself, have a way of bringing you squarely home. Each cuvée is unmistakably from here. The wine smells like the earth right before it rains and tastes like the pine forests high on the hills and the wild fruits in the underbrush. With vines unaltered by herbicides or pesticides, and every grape cluster twisted from the vine by hand, this is pure Fleurie, and there is nothing better.' Katie Dodd, KLWM

93 Pts Neal Martin, Vinous 'The 2023 Fleurie comes from south-facing vines, the first to be picked within the "Champagne" lieu-dit. It has a little more fruit intensity than the Côte du Py, with raspberry, blackcurrant, allspice and light white pepper scents. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, gentle grip, sapid red fruit and a tightly coiled, mineral-laden finish.'

About the Wine Maker

“Thankfully Jean Foillard doesn’t live in Burgundy. I say that because if he transported his vineyard holdings, metier and extraordinary talent to the Côte de Nuits then there is no chance that you would be reading about him in these pages. His wine would be as exclusive and expensive as Domaine Leroy or Georges Roumier. It is only because Beaujolais has been much maligned by the ‘nouveau’ phenomenon, poor quality marketing and oceans of basic quality wines that the regions superstars remain undiscovered. Jean Foillard is one of the great winemakers in France and, in his hands, wine is no ordinary thing. Jean Foillard is a fervent supporter, like Marcel Lapierre, of the natural wine growing and making methods of the legendary Jules Chauvet. This includes keeping whole clusters of grapes in vats for 2 to 3 weeks at a low temperature before fermentation, using only natural yeast, no pumping, no fining and no filtration. Furthermore he ages his wine in barrels brought from the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti..... the results are sublime. He is a cult wine hero amongst the very many young, free-spirited vignerons in France who are now looking back to nature to make fine wine.
