Alex Foillard Beaujolais Villages 2022
Vintage Character
The 2022 Beaujolais Villages from Alex Foillard presents a lively and authentic interpretation of Gamay, capturing the essence of the region’s renowned granite soils and old vines. Benefiting from a warm and sunny growing season, the 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit and approachable tannins, resulting in a wine with generous aromatics and supple texture. The nose reveals inviting notes of wild strawberries, crushed raspberries, and delicate violets, while the palate is vibrant with juicy red fruit, subtle spice, and a gentle earthiness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Fresh acidity and a silky mouthfeel contribute to a medium-bodied structure, finishing with a refined mineral lift. This versatile Beaujolais Villages pairs beautifully with classic roast chicken, creamy mushroom risotto, or semi-soft cheeses such as Tomme de Savoie, making it an excellent choice for a range of dishes across various cuisines.
Winery Background
Alex Foillard, the son of acclaimed Morgon producer Jean Foillard, has quickly established his own reputation in Beaujolais through a commitment to minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable viticulture. Working with organically farmed old vines rooted in granite-rich terroir, Alex employs gentle extraction and native yeast fermentation to highlight the purity and vibrancy of Gamay. His approach reflects both the heritage of his family and a youthful dedication to expressing the unique character of each vintage, positioning him as a rising talent in the region whose wines are celebrated for their authenticity and finesse.
