Jules Métras Chiroubles La Montagne is a red Beaujolais from the Chiroubles cru village. This 2024 release is sourced from high-altitude vineyards characterized by steep slopes and granitic soils. Métras adheres to strict natural winemaking principles, including carbonic maceration without the addition of sulphur or commercial yeasts. The wine is bottled without filtration to retain its vibrant energy and textural purity. It offers a high-toned aromatic profile of wild raspberries, peony and cracked black pepper. The cool microclimate of the La Montagne site ensures a refreshing acidity and a light, ethereal mouthfeel.
