Yvon Métras took over the family domain near Villié-Morgon in 1988. A firm follower of Marcel Lapierre, he is also an advocate of natural wines. His five hectacre vineyard is entirely organic and his vinifcations are always carried out as naturally as possible (natural yeasts and no, or very little, sulfur). This domain is a leading light in Beaujolais thanks to the authentic and fruit forward wines that Métras produces. The demand for these wines greatly outweighs the supply.

Yvon Métras has produced a superb Gamay grown in silty sands using organic methods. The freshness of its aromas, and its indulgence on the palate, make this a perfect wine for an apéritif. However, its solidity and structured body mean it can be paired with more substantial dishes too, or kept for a few years.
