A phenomenal winery that makes the hearts of many wine lovers beat faster. Metairie was founded in 1995 as a wine cooperative. This means it's a winery with several affiliated winegrowers. Together, all the winegrowers own a vast number of hectares of vineyards. This is Metairie's greatest strength. Dozens of hectares of vineyards, roughly located between Narbonne and Limoux, where each grape variety is planted where it thrives. So the quantity isn't just astronomical, but the quality is too. And you can taste that in every bottle from Metairie.
