Tasting notes

Sourced from the Champ*agne lieu-dit, the 2021 Fleurie demonstrates all the luscious qualities that a 2021 could have, with velvety notes of red cherries, spiced plums, crushed purple petals and vine smoke. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has precision and balance with its just-ripe fruit and fine-grained tannins intertwined seamlessly with the tension-driven structure, guided by a backbone of tangy acidity. This interplay leads to a prolonged journey toward a flavorful, tangy finish. This is a spot-on wine from the Foillard team.

About this wine

Jean Foillard is a legendary producer in Fleurie, one of Beaujolais's most prestigious appellations in France. Known for a philosophy that prioritizes natural winemaking and minimal intervention, Foillard crafts red wines of remarkable elegance and structure from the Gamay grape. His approach honors the unique terroir of Fleurie, where granite-based soils and a continental climate produce wines of distinctive character and finesse.

This Fleurie red wine showcases the velvety texture and ripe fruit expression that define the appellation, with a medium-bodied profile and subtle smoky notes. At 13.5% ABV, it achieves impressive balance and complexity. The wine's versatility at the table makes it ideal for pairing with blue cheese, brie, and camembert; charcuterie and cured meats; beef and game birds; mushrooms and grilled vegetables; or tomato-based dishes. Whether served in a fine dining setting or enjoyed casually, this Gamay-based red delivers the sophisticated, food-friendly character that Jean Foillard is renowned for.
