November 30, 2014 - This wine made me think of that classically cheesy Robert Palmer video, "Simply Irresistible," as it's just one of those whose sheer deliciousness bowls you over. That's not to say it's simple by any means, as its nose is plenty complex, with loads of black cherries, canned peaches, spices, some floral action, and a hint of Bojo funk. On the palate, the trademark Foillard silk is in full effect, as this just glides down with effortless sweetness. The price is steep, but it's hard to argue when the bottle is drained so quickly with huge smiles on everyone's faces.

It's certainly not the elegant or cerebral wine that the Côte du Py is, but its sheer gulpabilty makes up for what it lacks in "burgundianness." And when you consider how much these Foillard wines run laps around village Burgs of comparable price, you don't feel so bad about shelling out 40-50 bones for them.
