Yvon Metras

Located in the heart of Fleurie, Yvon Metras is a distinguished wine producer celebrated for their exceptional wines crafted from the region's distinctive Gamay grape. With decades of experience, the Metras family has honed their winemaking practices to embody the area's unique terroir.

Under the guidance of Jules Metras, Yvon's son, the estate has gained immediate acclaim since its inaugural vintage in 2014. Following the low-intervention philosophy championed by Jules Chauvet, the family adheres strictly to organic and biodynamic principles, resulting in wines of purity and elegance.

Jules employs nuanced techniques passed down from his father, including late harvesting for optimal ripeness and carbonic maceration, which yields wines with soft tannins and vibrant aromas. Combined with their natural winemaking ethos, these methods produce Beaujolais wines of exceptional character and complexity.

Yvon's wines are admired for refinement, while Jules' cuvees display density and mineral characteristics. The Metras family, harnessing the wisdom and experience of two generations, currently crafts some of the most fascinating wines in Beaujolais. These wines are a must-try for wine connoisseurs eager to explore the diverse palette of elite Beaujolais wines.
