Alex Foillard Brouilly Beaujolais 2021

The vineyards for the Alex Foillard Brouilly Beaujolais are located in the north-facing lieu-dit Chavannes, in the heart of the Brouilly appellation. The soils here are a combination of granite and schist, with a thin layer of sandy soils on top, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's distinct minerality. The vines, which are 50 years old, benefit from the cool northern exposure, which helps preserve the bright acidity and fresh fruit character that define Brouilly wines. Alex’s approach to viticulture is rooted in organic principles, ensuring that the vineyards are healthy and sustainable for future generations. This commitment to the land results in wines that are both expressive and balanced, with a clear sense of place.
