Tasting notes for the Beaujolais 2020 - Yvon Métras

EYE: Yvon Métras's Beaujolais 2020 displays a vibrant and bright red color, indicating a wine that is still very young and full of freshness.
NOSE: This Beaujolais reveals a rich and expressive aromatic bouquet. Aromas of crisp red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, dominate, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets and peonies. Hints of black pepper and cinnamon complement this aromatic profile.
MOUTH: Yvon Métras gave us a balanced and fresh 2020 Beaujolais. Its light texture and soft tannins provide a sensation of smoothness and roundness on the palate. The fruity aromas persist pleasantly, supported by a lively acidity that brings welcomed freshness and dynamism.

In short: This Beaujolais 2020 from Yvon Métras is a young and lively wine, to be enjoyed in 5 to 6 years to fully appreciate its freshness and fruitiness. It pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, such as fine charcuteries, composed salads, grilled poultry dishes, or artisanal pizzas.

Yvon Métras

The master of Beaujolais

Yvon Métras' career begins in 1988, when he inherited the family estate of Romanèche-Thorins (in the Beaujolais region), with its 5 hectares of vineyards, and produced his first vintage. Very soon, his encounter with one of his neighbors, Marcel Lapierre, changed his conception of winemaking. Marcel, a disciple of the great Jules Chauvet, convinced him to make more natural wines.

Jules Chauvet (1907-1969) was an actual chemist by trade, interested in chemical processes such as malolactic fermentation and carbonic maceration, as well as a winemaker and successful author. He is often described as the true inspiration behind the natural wine movement, and many vintners are actively trying to follow in his footsteps and claiming to be his pupils.

Yvon Métras' vineyard is very respectful of nature. Wine making is done with natural yeasts (very few sulphites are used). Yields are low by design, the soil is plowed manually, and grapes are picked by hand only. His ancient grapevines (most were planted in 1898) produce great wines, especially his Fleuries "Cuvées Ultimes" which helped him build his reputation of master winemaker. His son Jules seems to be aiming for the stars as well.
