2017 Lapierre Morgon Magnums

Lapierre is one of the standard-bearers of Beaujolais. We'll keep this brief.

Rarely Seen Lapierre
2017 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

Our allocation of Lapierre's Sans Soufre bottling is one of the most anticipated events. Lapierre's Morgon is one of the most wildly delicious wines in existence. The Sans Soufre bottling takes it to another level. In the U.S. it's rarely encountered and tends to disappear from the market quickly. 

Gang of Four +1 More: 2016 Alex Foillard Brouilly & Côte de Brouilly

Jean Foillard makes some our favorite wines anywhere. When news arrived that his son, Alex, had started making wine in very different terroirs in Beaujolais, we were really curious.

The Master of Morgon
2015 Foillard Morgon Eponym

There are few producers in Beaujolais who turn out wines with the same level of clarity and purity as Foillard. When you taste through Foillard's line up side-by-side, it becomes very clear just how sensitive the winemaking is. Each wine is vinified exactly the same, but the differences are striking.

The Master of Morgon Magnum Edition:
2016 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py Magnums

Côte du Py is one of Beaujolais' great vineyards. Foillard is undoubtedly the master of the site. A couple of weeks ago we offered bottles of Foillard's gorgeous 2016 Côte du Py. Today, we're happy to offer a modest parcel of magnums.  

The Master of Morgon: 2016 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Foillard's Côte du Py is as pure and captivating as Beaujolais gets. At this point, Foillard's Côte du Py doesn't need much of an introduction. Still, it's a wine we're so fond of that we feel the need to say at least a few words.

The Master of Morgon: 2016 Foillard Morgon Corcelette

Foillard's Corcelette has quickly become one of our favorite bottles in Beaujolais. When Corcelette is on, it's one of the most beguiling bottles of Beaujolais around.

1ha - Lapierre in Côte du Py
2016 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Camille

Like so many others, we love Lapierre's wines. They are joyous wines to be drunk with abandon. Out of the line-up, it's the Camille that we work hardest to find in quantity.

Lapierre Rarity:

Lapierre's Morgon is one of the most wildly delicious wines in existence. The Sans Soufre bottling takes it to another level.

Clarity, Energy and Wild Drinkability:
2016 Lapierre Morgon

Every vintage, we watch people stock up on Lapierre by the case. Lapierre is one of the standard-bearers of Beaujolais. If you were to rank wines on sheer drinkability, Lapierre would top the list.

Morgon's Master:
2014 Foillard Morgon Cote du Py Bottles & Magnums

Foillard is one of the undisputed great producers of Beaujolais and 2014 is easily one of the strongest Beaujolais vintages of the past decade.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow:
2015 Envínate Lousas Vinas de Aldea

At this point, when we offer Envínate we expect a quick sell out. It's been amazing to watch the wines blow up.

The Master of Morgon:
2014 Foillard Morgon Eponyme

With the first release of Eponym in 2013, it became even more obvious how dialed dialed into terroir Foillard is.

Foillard Value:
2015 Foillard Morgon Classique

For many of us, Foillard is the master of Morgon. It's that simple.

Gamay in Silk:
2015 Foillard Morgon Corcelette

When Corcelette is on, it's one of the most beguiling bottles of Beaujolais around.

Magical Morgon, Magnum Edition
2015 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py Magnums

Last month, we offered Foillard's 2015 Côte du Py and the offer blew up. Today, we're happy to offer a very limited amount of magnums.

Morgon's Master in Fleurie:
2010 Foillard Fleurie

2010 remains one of our favorite vintages of Foillard's Fleurie. When we saw this parcel, we jumped on it.

Magical Morgon:
2015 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Each vintage, we amass as much of Foillard's Côte du Py as we can get. It's never enough.

Cornas Surprise: 2014 Pacalet Cornas

This is Cornas like you've never tasted it before. It's hard to imagine an expression of Cornas so faithful to the appellation, yet so removed from its usual expression.

Lapierre Rarity: 2015 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel Lapierre

The 2015 Beaujolais are difficult to find in quantity. When it comes to Cuvée Marcel, things are especially ugly. A mere trickle of Cuvée Marcel arrived in the U.S.  At any given time in the past six months, you'd only find a listing or two for the wine.

Break Out Vintage - Côte-Rôtie Sud:
2014 Envínate Lousas Vinas de Aldea

"They have achieved an elegance and balance never seen before" -Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

Fleurie In Unmediated Purity:
2013 Foillard Fleurie

Foillard captures the beauty and delicacy of Fleurie in a way that few others achieve. Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon. Still, his much less available Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie. 

Côte du Py Lapierre Style:
2015 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Camille

Côte du Py is Morgon's most famous vineyard, and one of Beaujolais' top sites. Naturally, when word got out that Lapierre was bottling a Côte du Py, we were very excited.
