Morgon - 2021 - Jean Foillard

Gamay, of course! Natural, obviously! The estate’s soils are complex, rich in iron oxide and crisscrossed by veins of manganese, shale and very old igneous rock known as “roche pourrie” or rotten rock. P'tit Jean, as his friends call him, has farmed his vines organically since the beginning but has never sought certification. The rest is a matter of tradition: harvesting by hand, whole bunch vinification, carbonic maceration, and maturation for 5 months in vats. Unfined, unfiltered, just a pinch of sulphur.
