"Earth, rich herbs and spice are interwoven across plush red fruits on the nose. On the palate, a beguiling, refined texture gives balance to an outstandingly pure fruit and mineral line, supported by complex baking spice and fresh forest floor. Coming from vines planted in the 1920's, an incredible intensity of flavour and complexity is apparent - this is a Cru Beaujolais of outstanding quality." - Wine House
"From vines planted 1924 and 1936. La Roilette is regarded as one of the best sites in Fleurie, and this old vines cuvee (60-90+ years old vines) is produced from a patch of vines planted in pink granite-clay soil located beside the winery in the northern part of the appellation beside Moulin-a-Vent. 15% of this cuvee is vinified in barrel (none new) giving extra dimension to its freshness and perfume, will also age for 10+ years. This is Gamay at it’s finest and beautifully perfumed best.
The Metrat family home and winery are to be found in the midst of the very highly regarded sector of Fleurie called “La Roilette”. La Roilette lies towards the bottom of the slope close to the border of Moulin a Vent and here the soil has a base of clay underneath the decomposed pink granite that is so typical of this area. This makes for wines that have a little more depth and structure than most other Fleuries." - Vintage and Vine Imports
