Madame Placard Beaujolais Gamay 2020
Glorious Beauj raspberry strawberry. Very much Beauj but it also has an earthy not hidden in there. Elegantly balanced as well. Right when opened a lot was going on. It smells like stems. I like that. Another Beauj to go on the rotation for things to look for when it comes out. — 3 years ago

Le Printemps Fleurie Gamay 2011
This is fantastic. Just dusted granite at first but following the fruit and pure country smells develop beautifully: dew on the trees, fresh picked berries, manure. Piercing tart cherry and sour, mashed, fermenting fruit, and floral scents. Then the palate has the sweetness of cherry candy. Anise. Nutmeg. Long flavors. Completely transparent, all the sediment has settled out. Just beautiful. This is how natural wine should be. — 4 years ago

Beaujolais Gamay
The Beaujolais has a ruby with purple shades colour. Fine and fruity, the nose awakes with small red fruit aromas. Smooth and soft on the palate, it offers a nice fruity aromatic persistence.
Ideal with delicatessen, roasted pork and poultry. — 2 years ago

Premiere Mise is sourced from Yvon’s oldest vines from the Cercillon plot in Fleurie, another legendary "V.V." bottling. Only bottled “Beaujolais” because it's above 500m elevation and some dumb rules for the Fleurie AOC.
Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service and enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2023 “Premier Mis” pours a hazy, deep ruby with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. The nose? Well…it’s sensational (with just enough funk to remind you this is Metras): gorgeous, lifted notes of red brambles, red plum, mixed flowers, licorice, a whiff of horse blanket, dried herbs and granitic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A stunning Metras; a wine you think about for days after. A totally awesome pairing with the roasted duck. Drink now through 2038? Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 15 days ago
