Foillard's 3,14 represents the magnum opus of a Beaujolais master.
The 3,14 bottling is only made in special years and is always one of the most exciting releases.
A few weeks ago, we offered bottles of 3,14 and they sold out in a couple hours. We don't expect these even rarer magnums to stick around for long.
Simply put, it is one of the most profound and captivating Beaujolais' around. Gamay seldom reaches such levels of depth, sophistication, and complexity.
Côte du Py is known for being one of Beaujolais' greatest sites. Foillard's 3,14 includes a healthy dose of his oldest vines in Côte du Py. When you taste the 3,14, it's clear that only the most beautiful fruit makes the cut.
You can expect the 2017 to be an epic example of the wine. It has a lovely balance between richness and energy. There are incredibly pure layers of floral tinged cherry fruit, spice, and a gentle undercurrent of smoky mineral.
Foillard's 3,14 is a very compelling example of the heights that Beaujolais can reach. There are very few wines from the region that can even compete. Quantities are extremely limited. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.
