Yann Bertrand's flagship Fleurie, and the one he makes you wait for: the old-vine cuvée gets a longer élevage in used barrels than anything else in the cellar, then sits an extra year before it's allowed out. The fruit is 100% Gamay from a two-hectare plot of 60-plus-year-old vines on pink granite sand — the fine, sandy granite of Grand Pré at Fleurie's southern edge — farmed organic and biodynamic, then fermented whole-cluster and carbonic on native yeast with no added sulfur, and bottled by gravity, unfined and unfiltered. Bertrand grew up in Fleurie as a vigneron's son, went off to study commerce and work in wine bars, and came home to learn from Jean Foillard, Yvon Métras and Jacques Neauport, Jules Chauvet's quiet right hand; he is now a cult name himself, and these bottles do not sit around. 2024 was hard-won — downy mildew and a violent hailstorm took a little under half the crop — but the wines came in with a low pH that recalls a vintage like 2014, which is exactly the cool, high-tension register this perfumed style thrives in. Zero-zero winemaking at this level of precision is rare; so is a top cuvée that chases lift rather than muscle.

More about Yann Bertrand

It’s hard to believe that Yann Bertrand is no longer the new kid on the Beaujolais block. It feels like just yesterday that we were experiencing our first tastes of his stunningly fresh, juicy, intricate wines and marveling at the undeniable talent of the young Foillard and Métras protégé. Over the years, Yann’s wines have found more poise, confidence and clarity and today they are among the most sought after in the region.

Based in Fleurie, Yann farms a collection of top sites with plenty of old vines. He’s dedicated to natural viticulture and keeping things simple and clean in the cellar. The wines are 100% whole cluster, vinified in large concrete vats and aged in concrete or older barrel depending on the parcel and character of the vintage. They occasionally see a touch of sulfur at bottling, but for the most part, these are zero zero wines that are articulate, serious, and seriously delicious with an effusive, uncompressed energy that keeps you coming back for more.

Recently, Yann has grown his portfolio of vineyards, started to purchase a little bit of fruit from other like minded growers and has even expanded his reach beyond the borders of Beaujolais releasing a loving riff on Tavel with fruit sourced with the help of none other than Thibault Pfifferling.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with tarragon, charcuterie and cornichons, duck breast with cherries, mushroom risotto, a good jambon persillé, or grilled sausages with lentils.

Tasting Profile

Light to medium bodied and perfumed, with red cherry, raspberry and violet aromas and a faint peppery, earthy edge from the whole-cluster carbonic fermentation. Bright, mouthwatering acidity, fine and silky tannins, no oak flavor despite the barrel aging. The finish is long, floral and mineral rather than heavy. Serve with a slight chill.
