Description
Jean Foillard’s Morgon Côte du Py is a benchmark for Beaujolais, and the 2023 vintage is another stunning release that captures everything we love about this site and this grower.
Sourced from old vines on the fabled Côte du Py hill, this wine embodies the pure, expressive style that Jean Foillard is renowned for. The 2023 vintage is all about freshness, balance and vibrancy. Expect bright, jellied red fruits layered with a delicate floral lift and the signature silky texture that only Foillard seems to master so effortlessly.
There’s a fine thread of minerality that runs through the wine, adding complexity and tension, while the whole bunch fermentation brings a subtle herbal note that perfectly complements the fruit. It’s a wine that feels both complete and open, with plenty of charm now but also the potential to evolve beautifully over the next five to eight years.
In a world where wine prices are soaring, Jean Foillard’s Côte du Py continues to deliver incredible value for the quality, reminding us why it remains one of the most sought-after wines in all of France.

"The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines. This has a wonderful, very complex bouquet with exquisite delineation: crushed stone filters through dark berry fruit alongside hints of ash and light stony scents. The sapid and vivacious palate has filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, and a touch of cracked black pepper towards the long finish. This is one of the best Morgon's you can buy...but that's old news."
