Jules Metras - Beaujolais Villages - Bijou 2018
Jules Métras, son of the well-known Yvon Métras, has started recently to produce wines in Beaujolais, in the Chiroublesand Beaujolais-Villages appellation. From his 2 hectares of vines, his first vintage was released in 2014. The vineyard is certified biodynamic.
Bijou is a Beaujolais-Villages made from Gamay grapes harvested at maturity, quite late and coming from two separate plots. The grapes are kept at a cool temperature to then be able to start a soft carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks.
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
