Certified-organic, 100% Syrah from Côtes-du-Rhône by Cornas grower Matthieu Barret; juicy blackberry and black cherry with a peppery lift, smooth tannins and stainless-steel élevage for freshness.
This Syrah hails Drôme region of the Northern Rhône. Cultivated at 400 meters on clay-limestone soil. In the cellar, the winemaking involves partial carbonic maceration as well as wild fermentation with no temp control, and ageing in concrete eggs for six months. Minimal amounts of sulphur added. This is a spicy and juicy Syrah that really delivers!
Notes on the producer
Matthieu Barret, a seventh-generation vigneron, took over Domaine du Coulet in 1998 at the young age of 23. Previously, the family estate had primarily supplied grapes to renowned producers in the Northern Rhône.
Barret has dedicated himself to biodynamic viticulture, resulting in low-yield, high-quality wines. His wines are known for their purity and expression of the Cornas terroir. With minimal intervention and low sulphur additions, Barret’s wines offer a taste of authentic, natural winemaking.
