Beaujolais Nouveau Jean Foillard 2025

The wine

Here is the Beaujolais Nouveau from Jean Foillard, an iconic Beaujolais winemaker, who invites us to discover this flavourful, fresh and fruity wine. The nose contains red fruit notes (fresh strawberries) and sweet spices, while the palate is full of energy. This wine possesses a crisp texture and concludes with a more mineral finish.
We would recommend that you open this bottle with friends and serve it at 13°C paired with a charcuterie board.
A Beaujolais legend, Jean Foillard keeps the regional tradition of creating Beaujolais Nouveau close to his heart and we at iDealwine are huge fans! This type of wine produced from macerating Gamay grapes for a short time has been released every November since 1951.

About the Producer Jean Foillard

Domaine Jean Foillard is, undeniably, one of the most famous producers in Beaujolais. The estate has about 20 hectares of vines, mainly in the Morgon and Fleurie appellations. Jean Foillard, who took over the property in 1981, was inspired by Marcel Lapierre to manage his vines in a style that is as close to organic as possible (most of the hectares are, in fact, certified organic). Foillard's techniques aim to preserve as much fruit as possible without the use of sulphur. His meticulous and delicate vinifications result in wines with a silky mouth feel.
His wines stand out for their intensity of fruit, their freshness as well as for their good balance of structure and delicacy. These are wines that can be enjoyed now or in a few years and are a gold standard for Beaujolais.
The future of the estate is in good hands. Jean has passed on all his knowledge to his son Alex, who also owns some vines that he operates under his own name in Brouilly and Côte-de-Brouilly. Foillard is a promising name that continues to contribute to the region's dynamism.
