Description
In a nutshell:
Imagine a handful of sun-ripened raspberries crushed in your palm: this organic red echoes that vibrancy, with a delightfully smooth, fruit-forward charm.
The lowdown:
This delightful Beaujolais is all juicy red berries - think raspberries just bursting into ripeness - with a touch of something floral, like violets hiding at the edge of a summer meadow. Made from Gamay grapes, grown organically by a young chap clearly following in his legendary father's footsteps, it's light-bodied and refreshing, with a smooth texture and a whisper of tannins. Unfussy winemaking - minimal intervention, if you will - lets the fruit shine through, making it gulpable in the best possible way. A delightful choice for those who appreciate a glass of something lively and uncomplicated.
The Producer:
Following in his father Jean's footsteps (a Beaujolais natural wine legend), Alex Foillard is making a name for himself. After travelling the wine world, Alex returned home, sourced a couple of hectares in Brouilly and began crafting his own wines. Organically farmed and made with minimal intervention, they show a bright, juicy style. With Alex's talent, the future of the Foillard legacy looks very promising.
When to drink:
Crack open this juicy, easy-drinking red for carefree evenings with cured meats, light curries or simply enjoyed on its own.
