Winemaking
In terms of winemaking, Alex Foillard Beaujolais Villages benefits from carefully selected techniques. The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring the selection of the best bunches. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, which contributes to the authenticity and character of the wine. A distinctive aspect of the process is whole cluster fermentation, including traditional carbonic maceration, a technique that enhances the freshness and fruity aromas of the wine.
This wine is fermented in cement tanks for 10 days, with pumping over every two to three days. Ageing is also carried out in cement tanks for 4 to 5 months. This method of ageing in concrete is crucial to maintain the purity and clarity of the wine's flavour. In addition, the wine is bottled without fining or filtering, which allows it to retain its natural and authentic character. Importantly, there is no bottle ageing, which means that the wine is best enjoyed in its youth.

On the palate, this wine reveals a well-balanced acidity, which blends harmoniously with the notes of red and black fruits. In addition, the menthol aromas bring a unique sensation of freshness. This set of characteristics makes Alex Foillard's Beaujolais Villages an excellent choice for a variety of occasions and pairings.
