Very nicely aged Morgon with all that Gamay ripened cherry fruit earth goodness with soft balanced profile on palate and a finish that is well, elegant? — 20 days ago

Fully mature mouth-coating herbs and tomato. Lacks freshness of most bojo but somehow works with broad mid-palate. A treat, for sure. — 5 months ago

This was one of my contributions to the evening and this was easily one of the more compelling wines of the night, right up with the two 3.14’s by Foillard. While all the wines from Yvon Métras can be difficult to find, the “L’Ultime” is a unicorn. You hear about it; you read about it; you never see it. Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2018 “L’Utlime” is about as deep, dark and concentrated a Beaujolais I have ever encountered. Yet, it remains unmistakably Fleurie…and unmistakably Métras as there were definitely some liberties taken in the cellar. That being said, it’s controlled and really lovely stuff. To be honest, I found this to be remarkably similar to the 3.14’s from Foillard however the L’Ultime is slightly more concentrated while still maintaining its trademark elegance. In contrast, the 3.14’s were a touch more structured and, frankly cleaner. Drink now with patience and through 2038. — a year ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. As an American who loves to drink Beaujolais, I have had a lot of experience drinking the wines of Clos de la Roilette yet this expression has eluded me. Similar to the 3.14 from Foillard, this wine is an amped up version of their “Cuvée Tardive”. In fact, the fruit for “La Griffe du Marquis” comes from the same source as “Cuvée Tardive” but it’s a selection of the very oldest vines, some around 90 years of age. Uniquely, “La Griffe du Marquis” does see some time in used barrique. This was quite tasty and while the warmth of the 2015 vintage is obvious but I get the sense there is enough structure to see this age well. Drink now and over the next 15+ years. — a year ago
