Domaine Alex Foillard 'sBeaujolais Villages is pure Gamay fruit. The vines are located in the commune of Saint-Jean-d'Ardières, in the heart of the Lieu dit de Saint-Ennemond. The terroir is predominantly sandy-loam with an easterly exposure. The 30-year-old Gamay Noir vines really thrive here. Alex Foillard chose to age the wine in concrete vats for around 5 months to preserve its juicy, fruity character.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : Alex Foillard is a very talented young winemaker. He cut his teeth alongside the great winemakers that are his parents, as well as at the Prieuré Roch wine estate in Nuit Saint Georges. He embarked on this adventure to showcase his talent and express his personality through his wines.

It is at once fresh, fine and delicate. It's everything you'd expect from a Gamay in this range. Perfect!
