Description of wine 🍷
Alex Foillard, fils d'Agnès et Jean Foillard qu'on ne présente plus, s'installe en 2016 sur 2 ha, 1 ha en Brouilly et 1 ha en Côte de Brouilly, 2 belles parcelles avec des vignes âgées entre 30 et 60 ans. Ces dernières ont été travaillées en conventionnel jusqu'à la reprise par Alex qui a entamé immédiatement une conversion bio.
Alex, symbole de cette nouvelle génération du Beaujolais avec les enfants Lapierre, Cotton ou Métras, continue à travailler avec ses parents pour emmagasiner de l'expérience mais, à coup sur, la relève est là. "Fils de", peut-être, mais bon sang ne saurait mentir ! Une nouvelle génération de jeunes vignerons est en marche dans le Beaujolais.
Terroir : Granite
Age des vignes : 50 ans
Vendanges : manuelles
Vinification : Macération carbonique. Elevage de 9 mois en cuves béton. Pas de filtration.
Dégustation : La robe est grenat translucide avec des reflets d’évolution. Le nez est fin, complexe, sur le guignolet, la ronce, l’encens, la rafle, la violette... La bouche est ronde, ample, veloutée, avec une matière élégante, aérienne, mais aussi juteuse, jouissive, alliant un fruit frais à sa version plus décadente, séveuse. La finale prolonge ces sensations avec encore plus d’intensité, sur la cerise mûre et son noyau, le cacao, les épices douces, les fleurs fanées...

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
