Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The Morgon appellation is very fortunate to have so many leading estates among its ranks. Jean and Agnès Foillard offer a particularly fruity and fresh expression of the wine. The Fleurie and the 3.14 cuvée are always released slightly later than the Morgons. While their approach to work in the vineyards and the cellar is admirable, one cannot help but mention the slight animal notes that mar certain cuvées, sometimes causing them to lose all the potential of their terroir. This is a frustrating observation, as the structure of the wines clearly reveals their exceptional quality.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Jean Foillard is one of the leading figures in the Beaujolais region. A series of setbacks had led to his removal from the Green Guide; it was only natural to reinstate him. Known for his “natural” style, Jean cut his teeth at the family estate beginning in 1981. With a steady hand, he has maintained a free-spirited yet disciplined style, resulting in wines that are consistently excellent and deeply complex. Organic viticulture, sulfur-free winemaking, whole-cluster harvesting, and barrel aging are not the only keys to success, of course. To produce these “free-spirited” yet precise wines, meticulous monitoring under a microscope is one of the fundamental factors. Jean Foillard is gradually passing the torch to his son, Alex. After traveling the world and taking over a few hectares of vineyards in his own name, Alex is gradually taking the reins with the determination to carry on his father’s legacy while infusing it with his own sensibility. There is a noticeable progression in the most recent vintages tasted, which suggests the potential for a second star.
