Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Bernard Métrat known for?
Bernard Métrat is best known for his beautifully crafted Gamay wines from Beaujolais crus, particularly Fleurie and Chiroubles. These wines showcase the floral, expressive, and delicate side of Gamay, with characteristics that include fresh red berries, violets, and subtle earthy tones. Métrat’s style is one of finesse and transparency—he avoids heavy oak or manipulation, preferring to let the vineyard and grape speak for themselves. His Fleurie wines tend to be a touch more structured and perfumed, while his Chiroubles cuvées are lighter and more ethereal. Across the range, his wines share a hallmark vibrancy, supple texture, and an ability to age gracefully. Métrat’s work represents a perfect bridge between tradition and precision in modern Beaujolais, making his wines a favourite among enthusiasts who value authenticity and terroir.

Where are Bernard Métrat wines made?
Bernard Métrat wines are made in the northern part of Beaujolais, in the French region of Burgundy. His vineyards are located in two renowned crus: Fleurie and Chiroubles. These high-elevation sites are known for their granitic soils and cooler microclimates, which are ideal for producing vibrant, aromatic Gamay with refined tannins and natural freshness. Métrat’s estate is family-owned, and he personally manages the vineyard work, ensuring sustainable practices and limited yields to maintain quality. The region’s steep slopes require hand harvesting, which allows for better grape selection and preservation of fruit integrity. In the cellar, Métrat uses traditional Beaujolais methods—such as semi-carbonic maceration and ageing in inert vessels—to highlight the purity of the fruit and the distinctive mineral character of his terroirs. The result is a portfolio of wines that truly reflect their place of origin.

Are Bernard Métrat wines affordable?
Yes, Bernard Métrat wines are widely considered affordable, especially when compared to other French wines that offer a similar level of site expression and winemaking quality. Although they come from classified Beaujolais crus like Fleurie and Chiroubles—appellations known for producing elegant and age-worthy Gamay—they are priced accessibly. This makes them a compelling choice for wine lovers looking to enjoy expressive French reds without a steep price tag. Métrat’s focus on small production, traditional methods, and vineyard integrity contributes to the wines’ authenticity, yet the costs remain reasonable due to the region’s overall value-driven market. These wines appeal to both casual drinkers and collectors alike, offering complexity and finesse well above their price point. As interest in Beaujolais continues to rise, Métrat remains one of the producers delivering consistent quality at fair prices.
