Last night with a light dinner of roasted veggie salad and chicken liver mousse on baguette.

2006 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon (10/22/2009)
Light-red, a strawberry color in the glass. Nose throws some funk and dirt upon opening. Nice funk. Strawberry and dusty cherry fruit lurks on a palate that is wrapped kind of tight initially. There’s a salinity to the palate, too. Opens nicely with air. More tart cherry and minerals. Structure here. Nice. needs food

Thanks Dennis. Schlepped a bottle back from Paris last year (not realizing it was imported) but haven’t gotten to it. Looking forward to trying the 07s.

Thanks Richard. Someone was just raving about the '07 around here recently. Peter C maybe.
I like the fact I can buy this locally for $25. A great buy in ATL wine dollars.
