Foillard’s Corcelette is less well-known than his seemingly omnipresent Côte du Py, but lacks none of that wine’s elegantly vibrant fruit and structure. 2010 in Beaujolais, like in much of France, is still a vintage spoken about in terms of its quality and this is currently singing and, will continue to do so, for years ahead.
Jean Foillard made his name as a member of Beaujolais’ ‘Gang of Four’ winemakers the acolytes of natural wine pioneer Jules Chauvet. His wines, full of balanced poised fruit, are at the very forefront in the restoration of the reputation of Beaujolais as a serious winemaking region and represent some of the very best value to be found in all of France.
