The Morgon 3.14 2018 Magnum from Jean Foillard embodies the granitic terroir of the Côte du Py. This old-vine Gamay, aged in barrels, delivers aromas of black cherry, violet and spices, enhanced by a chalky minerality. On the palate, it captivates with its balance between density and freshness, with silky tannins. Ideal for 15 years of cellaring, it pairs with red meats and game.
A family estate rooted in Villié-Morgon, Domaine Jean Foillard perpetuates a winemaking heritage where respect for the terroir is paramount.
- Terroir: Granitic soils of the Côte du Py, in the heart of Beaujolais, conferring a distinctive minerality and unique depth to the wines.
- Vinification: Natural methods, minimal sulphur intervention and ageing in barrels to preserve the purity of the Gamay.
Tasting notes for Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon 3.14 2018 Magnum
To the eye: A deep ruby robe with garnet reflections, of a dense and silky texture, immediately revealing generous substance and mineral elegance.
On the nose: Fresh aromas of black cherry and blackberry intertwine with deeper notes of violet, liquorice and black tea, while a saline touch evokes the warm stone of the granitic terroir.

Serve between 15 and 16 °C in a Burgundy-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
