Fantastic natural wines and where to find them - John Wilson, Irish Times
Two high priests of the natural wine movement visited Ireland recently. Both paid homage to “the Pope”, the late Marcel Lapierre, a producer in Morgon who started it all back in early 1990s. Jean Foillard owns vineyards in Morgon in Beaujolais and Thierry Puzelat in the Loire valley. Inspired by Lapierre, they began to take wine back to its roots.
“We did not invent anything, we simply returned to what our grandfathers did,” says Puzelat.
