Jean Foillard Côte du Py Morgon

Côte du Py is Morgon’s crown jewel, and in the hands of Jean Foillard, it becomes something transcendent. The 2022 vintage is a study in tension and grace—an expression of Gamay that’s both grounded and soaring.
The nose is deep and brooding, with black cherry, ripe plum, crushed rock, and hints of smoke and spice. There’s a quiet intensity here, a sense of something coiled and waiting. On the palate, it’s layered and structured, with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a mineral core that speaks of ancient schist soils.
Foillard’s hallmark is balance—no excess, no artifice. Just purity, precision, and a kind of quiet magic that unfolds with time in the glass.
Drink now with a decant, or cellar for a few years to watch it evolve. Pair with duck, mushroom dishes, or anything that deserves a wine of quiet confidence.
