Matthieu Barret of Domaine du Coulet works with trusted growers who share his viticulture and winemaking values to produce a range of négociant wines from the Northern and Southern Rhône. The concept is light-hearted, as reflected by the joyful bear on the label, creating wines that are approachable in their youth.
The ‘Petit Ours’ (‘little bear’) Côtes-du-Rhône is 100% Syrah, sourced from vineyards planted on clay and gravel soils surrounding the village of Visan, next to Vinsobres. Situated at 150-250 metres above sea level on north-facing slopes, the vineyards produce grapes with excellent freshness. They are farmed organically and worked using biodynamic methods, in keeping with Matthieu’s philosophy.
