Oct 31st, 2021Has some of the similar spice qualities as the Cayenne from Balagny. This one was a bit more fresh. Very expressive with brighter red fruit (cranberries and raspberries). Smooth and easy drinking on the palate.

Mar 12th, 2020I know Métras is the hype but the style is just not my taste. I think there can be “too rustic” or “natural” and that it can get in the way of the wine.

Nov 13th, 2018This wine is what happens when a rebellious Gamay finally comes to its senses and grows up. Still has the fruit and funk of Gamay but has adopted some husky smoke and bite. A great drop for roasted seafood
