Jean Foillard Morgon Eponym Charmes 2020Varietal: Gamay The third and latest addition to Jean Foillards stellar lineup of Morgons comes from the Charmes lieu dit, one of the highest parcels in the appellation. In contrast to the grandiose, deeply structured Cte du Py and silky smooth Corcelette, this cuve features a bit more crunch with lots of bright acidity and a leaner, more mineral profile. It nonetheless shares the satin texture of all Foillard Morgons, and should age similarly well
