Alex Foillard Beaujolais-Villages 2023

Finesse, purity and delicious flavours are the watchwords of this beautiful vintage. It is a Beaujolais-Villages focused on red and black fruits and menthol aromas that give the wine great freshness. On the palate it is tasty and marked by a controlled acidity.

Winemaker Alex Foillard may be young, but his wines show plenty of wisdom and depth. In fact, Foillard’s Beaujolais-Villages is a sort of tightrope act, looking for that Guy Breton-esque burst of airy pleasure, mixed with a Jean Foillard-like depth and grip. This is one of the most compelling and delicious Beaujolais cross-pollinations one could wish for.
