Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée Corcelette 2014 

Clear and foggy ruby color. Very “barny” at bottle opening, it did disapeared with some air, thankfully!. Then came the berry notes with spices, earth, inviting and fresh. Flavors of red berries, earth, flowers, there is acidity but also a texture to the wine. It’s tasty and long. This is again a good wine from Foillard, but still youn and reserved with, for my taste, too much barnyard for now. A few years of cellaring shall take care of that! Very good + (90)

Available at the SAQ for 38,75$ (Code SAQ :  12201643)

Bright and dense ruby color. Nose of wild berries, earth, spices, it’s deep, serious yet the Gamay’s “happiness” is neither covered up nor faded by it. Concentrated on the palate with minerals, spices, slightly earthy with acidity and some bitterness on the finish. A young Beaujolais wine that gets more expressive after 2 hours of air contact. Very good (89)
