Matthieu Barret 'PETIT OURS' Rouge SYRAH A.O.P 23

Fruit driven organic SYRAH

SYRAH (Biodynamic, 6 months in concrete eggs on lees, min sulfur)

Côtes du Rhône, FRANCE

Say bonjour to Petit Ours, the little bear with big flavour. This is Matthieu Barret’s organic Syrah from the Côtes du Rhône, and it punches way above its cuddly name.

Juicy red plum, black cherry, violets and cracked pepper glide across the palate with zero heaviness. A soft core of fruit, a little savoury ripple, and that trademark Rhône Syrah lift. Aged for six months in concrete eggs to keep it fresh and alive, with minimal sulfur and no makeup.

This is Syrah at its most generous. Pure, expressive and full of bounce. You could chill it slightly, pour it generously, and drink it on its own or with absolutely anything involving a grill.

Matthieu Barret is known for his premium Cornas wine (ask us about it), but this is his everyday Syrah. Friendly. Honest. Organic. Just a very good wine from a very good winemaker.
