This is a wine with a lighter touch, a floral whisper, and the elegance of old vines. If Côte du Py is the storm, Corcelette is the breeze.
Luminous and Lifted
From the sandy soils of this lesser-known corner of Morgon, Jean Foillard draws out something luminous and deeply charming. Made from 80-year-old vines, Cuvée Corcelette is a masterclass in aromatic precision. It opens with wild raspberry, sour cherry, and a swirl of violets that practically floats out of the glass.
On the palate, it’s all silk and shimmer. Where Côte du Py broods, Corcelette sings. This is Jean Foillard in a different key—still soulful, but dialed toward elegance and perfume rather than power. It’s the kind of wine that reminds you why you fell in love with Gamay in the first place.
How to Enjoy
Its elegance makes it perfect for lighter fare like coq au vin, pork tenderloin, or simply on its own to appreciate its stunning aromatics.
