In Beaujolais, there is nothing quite like Métras.
Above all, it's the wines’ textural intrigue that makes them utterly captivating and unique. Their signature is a suave impression and a beautifully expressive mix of granite, flowers, and dark fruits.

Today, we're excited to offer Métras' 2023 Fleurie Printemps and Fleurie VV. Both wines are sourced from the Grille-Midi and La Madone lieu-dits. They are prime, steep climats situated in sandy, pink granite soils that yield the floral delicacy that Fleurie is famous for.
Printemps has Métras' indescribable textural presence, with an added stunning energy. It's the most dynamic wine in Métras' lineup. This is Métras' "young vine" cuvée. Bear in mind that in Beaujolais, young vines aren't all that young. Printemps comes from vines, which are a very respectable 20-30 years old.
The Fleurie VV is the bottling that sums up Métras' style the best. There's a soaring and totally gorgeous perfume and a spine of dark crushed rocks. It's a wine that explodes from the glass with violets, purple fruits, and jet-black minerality.
The 2023 is an intense, powerful, and layered vintage in Beaujolais. Both of Métras' 2023s maintain a bouncy lift and a fresh streak of granite-inflected minerality. All of this is cloaked in a beautiful texture. The Printemps boasts an undeniable impact of minerals, dark fruits, and flowers. The Fleurie VV combines richness with a vivacious and lifted core. There are layers of silky purple fruit along with gentle spices, earth, and the wine's telltale stony minerality.
We've worked with Métras since the 2007 vintage. For the past decade, the wines have become significantly more difficult to find in quantity. We tried to hunt down every bottle that we could find, but it's still pretty modest. Please give us your ideal order and we'll try our best.
