A fine and airy Gamay, revealing subtle aromas of cherry, peony, and white pepper. On the palate, the balance is perfect between delicacy and mineral tension, offering an elegant and persistent finish. A superb expression of the Chiroubles terroir.

Jules Metras, son of the legendary Yvon. Jules makes the wine in much the same way his father does and side by side in the same cellar (pictured) – the fruit, harvested relatively late, is cooled down before gentle, long, cool carbonic fermentation with natural yeasts in sealed concrete vats. The attention to detail meticulous with little notes in chalk written in code all along the various small cement tanks, just like his father. And no sulfur, like his father.
In the beginning – Jules studied winemaking at the Beaune Lycée Viticole and then worked abroad for two years to undetstand different concepts and apporaches, notably in New Zealand and Chile. Whilst this was happening, Yvon moved the cellar to Vauxrenard, about ten kilometers from Fleurie.
Jules is good freinds with the sons of two other legendary winemakers in his region; Alex Foillard (Jean Foillard) and Kewin Descombes (Georges Descombes) the future of fine, natural wines from the Beaujolais is very secure.
