Yvon Metras is often called the unofficial fifth member of Kermit Lynch's Beaujolais "Gang of Four," a minimal-intervention pioneer working in Fleurie since the late 1980s. Beyond his famous Fleurie, he makes a small amount of Moulin-a-Vent, the most structured and long-lived of the Beaujolais crus, in his additive-free, unfiltered style. This is the 2015, from a warm, ripe vintage, now a back-vintage bottle from a private cellar. The generous fruit of the year combined with the cru's natural structure has aged into something deep and savory, and it is drinking beautifully now with more to give. A cult wine, a serious cru, and real maturity all in one bottle.

Antonio Galloni

91 points

"Deep ruby. Ripe blue and red fruit aromas, along with suggestions of cured meat, violet, musky earth and a hint of peppery spices. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering smoke-accented bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. The spice and meat notes recur on the long, gently tannic finish, which leaves behind a suggestion of candied flowers." —Josh Raynolds

Tasting Profile

Maturing Gamay from a warm year and a firm cru: rich fruit folding into savory depth. Medium to full-bodied, structured, drinking beautifully now.
