Jean Foillard Morgon "Cote du Py"

Darker and more inward than Foillard’s villages wines, this opens with black cherry pit, mulberry skin, and bruised plum, layered with violets, iron filings, and a cool note of crushed basalt. The palate is compact and coiled, built around savory dark fruit, firm yet refined tannins, and a steady, mineral-driven line of acidity that gives the wine its tension. Subtle notes of bitter herbs, black tea, and damp stone emerge with air, carrying into a long, dry, ferrous finish. A serious, soil-first Côte du Py that privileges structure and depth over immediate charm, rewarding patience and attention.
