With his vineyard undergoing a major transformation, Alex Foillard has opted for sustainable viticulture, having begun the transition to organic farming from the very start. On his granite-based plots in Beaujolais, he employs carbonic maceration and ages the wine in concrete tanks for 9 months, without filtration. His 50-year-old vines produce a well-rounded wine, where every stage of winemaking is carefully managed to preserve the authenticity and pure expression of the terroir.

Alex Foillard
Alex Foillard comes from a family that is a hallmark of the Beaujolais region and launched his own business in 2016 under the name SAS Resveratrol. As the son of Jean Foillard, a leading figure in the revival of Beaujolais wines, he is now developing his own vision while staying true to a strong family tradition.
The estate primarily cultivates vineyards located in the Beaujolais crus, particularly Morgon, on the granitic soils typical of the appellation. The vines are cultivated using environmentally friendly practices, with careful soil management and a focus on microbial life.
The wines are made without unnecessary additives, using native yeasts for fermentation and minimal aging, to allow the Gamay’s fruit and natural structure to shine through. The wines strive for a balance between richness, freshness, and depth.
