Yvon Métras

Beaujolais Gamay from Fleurie's most celebrated expressions.

Yvon Métras produces Gamay-based wines from Beaujolais, the French region renowned for its silky, fruit-forward reds. The winery's portfolio spans the appellation's hierarchy: from the entry-level Beaujolais through to the more structured Fleurie, where Le Printemps represents the top expression. Fleurie, one of Beaujolais's ten crus, typically yields wines of greater depth and aging potential than the broader regional designation. Métras's Gamays have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator, reflecting the winery's standing within critical circles. The Fleurie Le Printemps, in particular, demonstrates the precision and complexity achievable within the Gamay varietal when sourced from this terroir.
