Beaujolais Villages | Red | 2024
Alex Foillard, a promising young winemaker from Beaujolais, produces wines from vines aged 30 to 60 years old located in Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly. He embarked on an organic conversion process as soon as he took over the family estate, guaranteeing an environmentally responsible approach. The wines undergo carbonic maceration followed by nine months of aging in concrete tanks, without filtration, to preserve their full complexity and authenticity.

Alex Foillard
Alex Foillard comes from an iconic Beaujolais family and set up his own business in 2016 under the SAS Resveratrol structure. Son of Jean Foillard, a leading figure in the Beaujolais wine renaissance, he is now developing his own vision, while maintaining a strong family tradition.
The estate primarily cultivates vines located in the Beaujolais crus, notably Morgon, on granite soils typical of the appellation. The vines are grown using environmentally friendly practices, with careful soil management and particular attention paid to microbial life.
The wines are made without unnecessary additives, using indigenous yeasts for fermentation and minimal aging, in order to allow the fruit and natural structure of the Gamay grape to express themselves. The wines strive for a balance between lusciousness, freshness, and depth.
