Gamay-focused Beaujolais from the elegant Chiroubles cru.

Jules Metras produces Gamay-based wines from Beaujolais-Villages, the heart of France's most distinctive red wine region. The portfolio centers on expressions from Chiroubles, a cru known for its silky texture and bright acidity. La Montagne Chiroubles represents the winery's top offering, followed by the approachable Beaujolais Villages Bijou and a core Chiroubles bottling. All three wines are built on Gamay's signature character: low tannin, high drinkability, and a mineral spine that reflects the granite soils of the region. Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast have all assessed the winery's output. The wines sit at the intersection of Beaujolais tradition and contemporary precision—neither heavy nor dilute, but calibrated for food and pleasure.
