Alex Foillard, Beaujolais-Villages, 2025 BURGUNDYCOUNT and a splash of PetitAlex Foillard carries one of Beaujolais' most famous natural wine surnames, but this is his own domaine, distinct from father Jean's. The Beaujolais Villages is his entry point: serious enough to show real terroir, simple enough to drink without a second thought. Expect lush, juicy Gamay fruit and a refreshing mineral lift, made in the gentle, low intervention style the Foillard name made famous. A young vintage built for pleasure right now.
