Yvon Metras - Fleurie 2024
The Fleurie 2024 cuvée from Yvon Métras accurately embodies one of the most sensitive and pure expressions of Gamay from the Fleurie cru. Made from carefully tended old vines, this cuvée reflects Yvon Métras' artisanal and demanding philosophy, an emblematic figure of the living wines of Beaujolais. The wine favors emotion, finesse, and terroir transparency, far from any pursuit of power or effect. Fleurie Vieilles Vignes stands out for its natural elegance and subtle balance. The 2024 vintage highlights a delicate texture, supported by beautiful freshness and great aromatic clarity. This cuvée follows a respectful approach to life and the grape. It is aimed at lovers of fine, expressive, and deeply authentic Gamay.
The nose opens with a delicate and precise aromatic profile, blending notes of fresh red fruits, cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry. Upon aeration, elegant floral nuances typical of Fleurie appear, accompanied by a slightly spicy touch. On the palate, the attack is soft and silky, with a fine and slender texture. The fruit expresses itself with purity, supported by perfectly integrated acidity that brings tension and energy. The tannins are very fine, almost imperceptible, enhancing the sensation of lightness and fluidity. The balance is remarkable, all in delicacy. The finish is fresh, persistent, and very elegant.
Fleurie 2024 is a wine that can be enjoyed young for its brightness and finesse, while offering interesting aging potential over a few years. It pairs ideally with delicate and refined cuisine but can also stand on its own during attentive tasting. This cuvée perfectly illustrates Yvon Métras' ability to produce wines full of emotion, sincere and deeply marked by their terroir. It naturally finds its place in the cellars of enlightened enthusiasts. A Fleurie of great finesse, precise and vibrant. An authentic and touching expression of Gamay.
