Brouilly 2022

Alex Foillard

With sensitivity and rigor, Alex Foillard is carving his own path in Beaujolais, while drawing inspiration from his father's exacting standards. He crafts fresh, low-intervention wines where the fruit expresses itself freely. A winemaker to watch closely.

Brouilly 2022 is a delightful and charming cuvée, stemming from the deeper soils of this southern Beaujolais cru. Less austere than Côte de Brouilly, it is more supple, generous, with vibrant fruit. A wine for pleasure, spontaneous and full of vivacity.

The nose explodes with wild strawberry, fresh cherry, and a slight peppery touch. On the palate, the wine is supple, crunchy, juicy, with a silky texture and a refreshing finish. A bottle that radiates youth and deliciousness.

Perfect as an aperitif, with a charcuterie board or a savory tart. It will also pair very well with a carpaccio, a summer barbecue, or a lentil salad. To be enjoyed without fuss, for the pure pleasure of the fruit.

Côte de Brouilly 2022

Alex Foillard

Son of Jean Foillard, Alex skillfully carries on the family philosophy while asserting his own style. Having been established for several years, he cultivates his vines with the same respect for living organisms, in pursuit of precision, pure fruit, and drinkability. His vision: natural, profound, yet always accessible Beaujolais crus.

Côte de Brouilly 2022 comes from hillside vines on the volcanic slopes of Mont Brouilly. This cuvée, with its straight and chiseled profile, accurately expresses the mineral freshness characteristic of this terroir. It is a wine of altitude and relief, taut, vibrant, and already very expressive.

On the nose, aromas of blueberry, violet, and warm stone blend elegantly. On the palate, the tension is immediate, carried by a beautiful freshness, fine tannins, and a saline finish. A structured wine, yet very drinkable, maintaining an ethereal touch.

Ideal with grilled meat, herb-crusted poultry fillet, or oven-roasted vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve slightly chilled to reveal all its finesse.
