2018 Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py

“This is opulent and vivid with loads of fresh blackberries and black cherries and hints of cedar and walnuts. Plums, too. So perfumed and flavorful, yet it remains fresh and creamy-textured with a long, persistent finish. A beauty. One of the best wines I have ever had from here. Drink now or hold.” James Suckling 96    “The 2018 Morgon Côte du Py is showing very nicely, offering up a classy bouquet of raspberries and plums, mingled with hints of orange rind, violet and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with a fleshy but elegantly understated core and an expansive finish. Impressively integrated-indeed, it was only after spending half an hour with the bottle that I noticed that it's labeled at 14.5% alcohol-with powdery tannins and succulent balancing acids, it's another fine rendition of this iconic cuvée. As I wrote last year, it's an open secret that this is one of the region's finest as well as most consistent addresses, and followers of the estate won't be disappointed by the newly released 2018.”Wine Advocate 94
