Inspired by Marcel Lapierre, the wines of Yvon Métras are arguably amongst the most controversial in all of Beaujolais. It could be that some just don’t “get it”. It could also just come down to an individual’s tolerance for his wine making methods (unabashedly natural). Regardless, no one can call his wines boring. This was our first of two Métras wines in the line-up this evening. Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2015 “Moulin-à-Vent” is comparatively dark and rustic to the wines that came before it. It’s a little funky and mousy but not out of control; certainly well within everyone’s tolerance on this occasion. Tannins are a little gritty and acid is well into the medium+ category. I felt like this bottle could probably stand to sit longer. You can drink now but best after 2025 and should drink well through 2035. — 10 months ago

Dusty patina (like walking through a Japanese temple) pomegranate and cranberry. Mixed white and black peppercorns. Uplifting acid (in a good way) that super complements food. TBL — 2 years ago
Tiny hint of reduction but beyond that it is super floral and with loads of cherry fruit. Iron, very mineral. Elemental stuff. Dusty and very very refined. Hit of licorice. Really alluring nose. Just stunning. These wines give nothing in their youth and then the blossom. Stunningly fresh and vibrant with still some tannic grip but wonderful balance and depth. Saps your palate and tales of over. This is truly on its way to being great. It’s long and saline and has floral echoes on the finish. Profound. But with age, 3-6 more years, this will be lights out. — 5 years ago
