2020 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 16, 2023 - 14% alcohol. Soft wax top; the cork underneath is very short but of pretty good quality. Medium colour with a youthful purple tinge.
The nose is very aromatic with a variety of berries ranging from redcurrant to darker and even dried wild fruit; there is also a floral component (peony rose) and some liquorice. The mouth has a searing intensity that verges on painful (in a nice way of course, and no, I am not a masochist); the dominant fruit is redcurrant, and so maybe a tad less complex that the nose. Excellent acidity, and the alcohol level is hard to credit. Good grip with even some slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
One of the purest expressions of Gamay that I ever had.
