Domaine Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette, Beaujolais, France 2023
Morgon “Cuvée Corcelette” 2023 is a beautifully lifted and refined Cru Beaujolais from one of the region’s most revered traditional producers. Sourced from the sandy soils of the Corcelette lieu dit known for producing some of Morgon’s most aromatic and elegant expressions the 2023 vintage opens with vibrant aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry layered with rose petal, spice, and subtle mineral notes. Silky and energetic on the palate, it combines bright acidity with delicate tannins and remarkable purity of fruit. Fresh yet quietly structured, this is a graceful and terroir‑driven Morgon that offers immediate charm while retaining the depth to evolve beautifully with short‑term aging.
"The 2023 Morgon Cuée Corcelette comes from well-drained granite soils and is aged for nine months in used barrel. It has a perfumed bouquet of incense that blossoms with aeration, as touches of brown spice infuse the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and transparent with finely chiseled tannins, exquisite balance and a dab of white pepper towards the sustained finish. This very classy Morgon is difficult to resist."
