Alex Foillard is the son of Jean Foillard, one of the legendary producers in reinterpreting the production of Beaujolais wines. After working in different wineries around the world, at the age of 24 he set up his own winery and, following the natural wine movement that his father started, he makes wonderful wines with a local identity.
Alex may be young, but his wines show plenty of wisdom and depth. In fact, Alex’s Beaujolais-Villages is a sort of tightrope act, looking for that Guy Breton-esque burst of airy pleasure, mixed with a, dare say, Jean Foillard-like depth and grip. One of the most compelling and delicious Beaujolais cross-pollination one could wish for.
