Tasting notes for the Chiroubles 2018 - Jules Métras (Magnum)
- EYE: Jules Métras' Chiroubles 2018 presents itself with a brilliant and deep ruby red color, with vibrant purple reflections. Its clarity speaks of careful filtration, while its viscosity suggests a certain density, sign of a beautiful structure.
- NOSE: This wine reveals a complex aromatic bouquet dominated by notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle floral touches, like violet. Spicy and mineral nuances unfold gradually in the background, adding an additional dimension to this rich and fragrant olfactory palette.
- MOUTH: The Chiroubles 2018 offers a velvety and balanced texture, supported by fine and silky tannins. The freshness of red fruits persists, enhanced by slightly peppery nuances and a discreet but present minerality. The elegant and harmonious finish leaves a pleasant sensation of vivacity and purity on the palate.
In short: Jules Métras' Chiroubles 2018, presented here in a magnum bottle, is a red wine of great finesse and complexity, ideal for cellaring for at least 5 to 7 years. It pairs perfectly with dishes such as pepper-crusted beef tenderloin, duck breast with figs, grilled lamb chops, wild mushroom risotto, or a selection of aged cheeses.

The son of Yvon Métras has found his own style
Jules is the son of famous winemaker Yvon Métras, one of the biggest names in the Beaujolais region. From his father, he inherited his love for the vineyard as well as a passion for organic methods. He also inherited the Métras name, which motivated him to walk in his dad’s footsteps at first, making wines that were very similar to his. After a few years working for Yvon, Jules then decided to travel the globe.
For years, he met new people, learned new things, tried new ideas… and then came back home. He produced his very first vintage in 2014. That same year, Jules Métras came out of his father’s shadow. He now has his own vineyard (a bit less than 2 hectares) of Gamay grapevines, mainly. Jules still uses Yvon’s biodynamic methods (both are actually certified) but the Chiroubles wines he makes are more dynamic and mineral, with more weight.
