Producer

Jean Foillard

With a family history of producing wine, Jean and Agnes Foillard weren’t strangers to the wine business when they took over his father's domaine in 1980 in Morgon. Jean, however, early on eschewed the regional trends by focusing on more traditional winemaking practices to produce wines that tasted nothing like what commercial producers in Beaujolais were making. Following the teaching of Jules Chauvet, Jean and three other local vignerons (Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thevenet, and Guy Breton – the “gang of four”) formed a close relationship and began the movement that changed Beaujolais.
