Like so many others, we find Foillard's wines totally irresistible. The Morgon Elles is yet another entry of Foillard's that we love to drink, but there's a twist.
The unsulphured version of Lapierre's Morgon consistently shows a textural dimension, a clarity of expression, and an intangible depth that sets it apart.
It's easy to understand. The sans soufre version is a rare sighting. More importantly, it takes the deliciousness of the sulphured version of Lapierre's Morgon to another level.
The way that Camille combines deliciousness with a depth of complexity makes it incredibly compelling.
No one does purity and drinkability quite like Lapierre. Camille elevates these qualities to a very serious level.
Roilette's Cuvée Tardive is one of Beaujolais' longest lived and most profound wines. There are few bottles of Beaujolais that have the track record for aging, can deliver incredible value, and are as loved as Tardive.
The first vintage of cuvée Marcel Lapierre was around a decade ago, and it wowed Beaujolais fans from the start.
Lapierre's Morgon is one of Beaujolais' most wines. The cuvée Marcel takes their work to a much different level of depth and seriousness.
For many wine lovers, having a healthy supply of Lapierre is essential. Having magnums around is even better.
We love the basic Beaujolais, not for its grandeur and complexity, but for its lightness, lift, and perfume.
The combination of levity, deliciousness, and fascination is something that very few wines achieve.
Each year, Lapierre's San Soufre is our most popular Beaujolais offer. It sells out in hours.
Lapierre is one of the most beloved winemakers, and it's rare to see the Sans Soufre bottling.
Alex Foillard, son of Beaujolais legend Jean Foillard, made the first wine under his label at twenty-five years old.
Beaujolais fans immediately took notice.
Foillard is one of the legends of Beaujolais, and magnums of his Côte du Py always disappear quickly.
Deplaude de Tartaras is technically from Coteaux-Du-Gier. More accurately, this is the middle of nowhere between the northern Rhône and southern Beaujolais.
The wines are truly noteworthy for their purity and drinkability.
Jean Foillard is a master of Morgon.
His mastery of the terroir is highlighted by his trinity of Morgons - Côte du Py, Corcelette & Eponym.
Lapierre's Morgon is one of the wine world's most beloved bottles. The cuvée Marcel Lapierre ups the ante considerably. The first vintage was around a decade ago, and it wowed Beaujolais fans from the start.
There are few bottles of Beaujolais that have as strong a track record for aging, deliver as much value, and are as loved as Tardive. Still, there's something special about the 2018 Tardive.
Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon. Still, his much less available Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie.
We'll keep this email short. Foillard is one of the legends of Beaujolais. Côte du Py is one of the iconic and great vineyards of Beaujolais. The site finds its ultimate expression in Foillard's hands.
Roilette's Griffe du Marquis made its debut in the ripe 2009, and in its first release, it was a star of the vintage. In 2017, another ripe vintage, it's also a top wine.
Ever since Camille's first vintage in 2013, it's a wine that we've bought every bottle available to us. There's something about how Camille combines deliciousness with a depth of complexity that made us immediate fans. It's a difficult wine to be a fan of - it is sourced from a 1ha plot.
When we tally up the mind-bending bottles of Beaujolais that we've drunk, Métras looms very large. The examples are too numerous to list, but most recently, there was an expectation-defying bottle of 1996 Fleurie. Catching a bottle of Métras when it's on is simply a profound experience. Of course, the magnum format only makes it better.
Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais' greatest winemakers. And 3,14 is his magnum opus.
Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais' greatest winemakers. And 3,14 is his magnum opus. The 3,14 bottling is only made in special years. Whenever a 3,14 is produced, it is one of the most exciting releases of the year.
