2024 Domaine Jean Foillard - Morgon Corcelette (750ml)

The Vineyard

Sourced from 60–80-year-old Gamay vines rooted in the sandy, decomposed granite soils of the Corcelette lieu-dit in Villié-Morgon. Compared to the Côte du Py bottling, Corcelette offers a lighter, more floral profile without sacrificing depth or longevity. The sandy granite here produces a distinctly more perfumed, ethereal expression of Morgon. 

Winemaking

Foillard's hallmark vinification — organic farming, 100% whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, aging in neutral oak, and minimal sulfur — preserves the wine's clarity and texture. Traditional fermentation runs for 3–4 weeks, followed by 6–9 months in used oak barrels (at least 2 years old) and large foudres to minimize oak influence, then bottled unfiltered.
