This is supple, chewy and bright red fruited, single vineyard Beaujolais-Village with freshness to boot. With plenty to savour, this lively Gamay. Fruit comes from the east facing lieu-dit of Saint Ennemond near Brouilly, of 70 year old vines on sandy, limestone soils.   

The son of celebrated producer Jean Foillard, Alex had an early introduction into the world of wine. Not resting on his father’s laurels, he honed his winemaking skills in Montpellier, Burgundy, Australia and Japan. Returning to Beaujolais, he purchased his own vineyards in Brouilly and Cote du Brouilly in 2015 at just 24 years old. Following the philosophies of his father; organic farming, minimal intervention winemaking, whole cluster fermentations with natural yeasts, no filtering or fining and minimal sulphur additions at bottling.
