The Wine
Made from Jules' father Yvon's property in Vauxrenard.
Bright violet in color, this wine offers bold aromas of black raspberry, cherry, and flowers, with hints of minerals and spice. It’s richly concentrated yet vibrant, featuring bitter cherry and dark berry flavors lifted by a refreshing acidity. Juicy tannins add structure to the lush, elegant finish. Simply delightful!

About the Wine Maker 
Jules Métras, son of the legendary Yvon, has just released the fifth vintage of his own wines, a Beaujolais-Villages from two parcels in Bize, a very cold hamlet of the village Vauxrenard, a Chiroubles and a new wine this year from a parcel just near AOP limit of 500m altitude, called Chiroubles 'La Montagne'.
Jules makes the wine in much the same way his father does and side by side in the same cellar (pictured below) - 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.
