2020 makes it a hat-trick of warm and full-on vintages in this part of the world and it is the measure of Sylvain's winemaking prowess that he has kept this release full of charm but not overblown. The Chevalier-Metrat family have been working these old bush-vines for generations and seem to still be getting better and better. Old school values and artisan winemaking really hitting the mark in terms of quality and impact that we all want today. This is simply a wine you want to drink. Bright with bounce – and yet enough weight so that they are not too playful – not frivolous. A great and sophisticated Beaujolais from old vines on the Blue Marl of the Mont de Brouilly. L&S (Sept 2022)

Domaine Chevalier-Métrat

Sylvain et Marie-Noëlle Métrat work their immaculate vineyards traditionally in this beautiful corner of Odénas just on the southern side of the Mont Brouilly. This family farm is on a small scale just 9 hectares now, but done with real passion and much hard work.
When we last visited, Sylvain did not want to waste a moment waiting around for us to arrive, so we found him working away in the vineyards nearest the winery - the best place to wait for us without missing a moment amongst his old bush-vines where there is always something to do!
In an effort to not over extract flavour or tannins Sylvain avoids any pigeage during fermentation instead he gently submerges the cap and creates more of an infusion. This gives delicacy and an elegant complexity to the juice. The wines are the best we have tasted from this part of the world and offer incredible value for gorgeously crafted, serious wines from beautiful old vines. These are pretty, complex and really joyous.
