Domaine Alex Foillard Côte de Brouilly 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 Alex Foillard Cote de Brouilly from is a striking example of Cru Beaujolais, crafted from the steep, volcanic blue granite slopes that define this appellation. In Beaujolais, the 2020 vintage was widely celebrated for its warm, sunny weather, which produced wines with ripe, generous fruit and supple tannins, while cool nights preserved the region’s hallmark freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with enticing aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, and violets, complemented by subtle mineral and herbal nuances that reflect its unique terroir. On the palate, it is energetic yet silky, offering juicy red fruit, a hint of spice, and a refined earthiness that lingers on a vibrant, lengthy finish. Its lively acidity and fine-grained tannins make it a versatile companion at the table; pair it with roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, or creamy Morbier cheese to showcase its elegant structure and depth.
Winery Background
Alex Foillard, son of the esteemed Beaujolais vigneron Jean Foillard, has quickly distinguished himself with a commitment to minimal intervention and deep respect for the land. Working with old Gamay vines on the dramatic slopes of Cote de Brouilly, Alex employs organic viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, including native yeast fermentations and minimal sulfur use, to capture the authentic character of each cru. His philosophy emphasizes purity and transparency, resulting in wines that are vibrant, expressive, and true to their origins. Through meticulous vineyard work and a focus on letting the terroir speak, Alex Foillard has established his wines as compelling benchmarks within the new generation of Beaujolais producers.
