Tasting notes for the Fleurie 2018 - Yvon Métras (Magnum)

• EYE: The Fleurie 2018 from Yvon Métras catches the eye with its bright red hue and shiny highlights. Its visual aspect evokes youthfulness and liveliness.
• NOSE: This Fleurie reveals a complex aromatic bouquet where forest and fruity notes mingle. Aromas of undergrowth, damp moss, and fallen leaves harmonize beautifully with scents of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. This combination of fragrances offers a rich and nuanced olfactory experience.
• MOUTH: A wine that stands out for its crisp and fine texture. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, offering a pleasant and balanced mouthfeel. The freshness of the red fruits is confirmed, accompanied by a slight acidity that adds dynamism to the whole. The finish is clean and elegant, leaving an impression of purity and freshness on the palate.

In short: The Fleurie 2018 produced by the 100% biodynamic Domaine Yvon Métras is a wonderful magnum cuvée that impressed us with its bright red color, complex aromatic bouquet, and crunchy texture on the palate. Simply perfect for cellaring, with its high aging potential, it will need a few minutes of decanting before you can fully appreciate it. Pair this wine with a roast chicken with Herbes de Provence, a beautiful slice of salmon grilled on the plancha, or a tomato and mozzarella tartare served with a drizzle of olive oil.
