Toujours très beau (voir note 2022), teinte rubis incandescente, nez vivant, floral, nature, impétueux mais séducteur : que d’énergie! Bouche svelte, profonde et fraîche, juste ponctuée par une chaleur excessive, ce qui ne l’empêche pas de rester digeste et fluide. Morgon atypique, vibrant, loin des standards confits/kirschés !

Let me preface this by saying after trying this and a metras previously, I don’t think gamay is my personal preference. There is an initial punch of smokiness and acid, as well as a not desirable bitterness (this is not describing tannins). The finish is incredibly smooth and structurally it is sound, but I just don’t think gamay is my grape. I still for some reason think a jadot beaujolais villages is the most quaffable and top qpr wine.

Nose is cherry raspberry and some flinty reduction. More of that pencil shavings on the body, good ripe cherry rhubarb, enough acid to balance but not high acid. Whisper of tannin. Way better than my first bottle last year, I’m guessing this will get better for at least a few years.

Superbe couleur rubis éclatante, trouble et reflets brillants: petit gamay nature des familles en vue! Au nez, on y est: cerise, fleurs, épices, que c’est joli! En bouche la gourmandise est de rigueur, l’attaque est souple, les tanins fins, il y a seulement cette petite chaleur (14°) qui persiste (je l’ai moins sentie qu’il y a 2 ans..) et qui n’entache pas l’élégance générale. Joli morgon féminin 👏

100% Gamay from the Côte du Py vineyard with granite and schist soils farmed organically. Manual harvest. Traditional vinification (carbonic maceration by indigenous yeast) without sulfur. Aged 5 months in stainless steel tanks. Bottled without adding sulphites. 14% Abv. Background: Jean and Agnès Foillard took over the family estate in 1980. The domaine today comprises 14 ha in Côte du Py, near the village of Villié-Morgon.
"Elles" is made by Agnès and her friend Nadine.
A(ccuracy)=2: Pale cherry/ruby. Pure, ethereal varietal. B(alance)=3: Delicate, refined components in harmony. C(omplexity)=2: Ripe berries, dried petals, spices, earth. D(epth)=1: Silky mouthfeel, Average length and finish.
Wine Tally Score [2,3,2,1] = 8/10
Primal purity.

90 Capa muy baja, parece un rosado. Nariz primaria, muy frutal. Fresitas, frambuesa. En boca es juguetón, fresco y frutal. Un vino de disfrute inmediato, bien hecho, pero sin complejidad en estos momentos. Quizás un poco elevado de precio para lo que propone.

Light, cloudy, plummy red. Red fruited, floral, mineral nose. Lighter end of medium bodied, feminine, red fruited palate, spice, hints of citrus, weightless. Quite lovely in a very straightforward way.

Very alcoholic. I didn’t mind the other 2018s from Foillard but this one seems very hot for me. I would’ve guessed Grenache. Not unpleasant, some strawberry compote but too much heat. Not for me.

Crispy acidity, blueberries, strawberries. Nice but not good for me. Maybe to young. First BoJo I drank at all so I am no expert with these wines.
