Last Call: 2012 Metras Fleurie VV & Moulin-a-Vent VV

In July of last year, we sent out an email on Métras's Fleurie VV and it sold out almost instantly. Then, in August, we offered  Métras's Moulin-à-Vent. Same thing. The explanation is easy: Yvon Métras is one of the great cult producers of Beaujolais and his wines are really, really rare. Especially in a short vintage like 2012, where yields were down by up to 50%.

We are not ones to fetishize glassware: This is the exception. Good glasses can certainly improve the expression of a wine, but for us, well, the truth is in the bottle, not the glass. These glasses, however, are on another level.
