Domaine Matthieu Barret

Mathieu Barret embodies the renewal of Cornas wines by being the emblem of this young generation of winegrowers passionate about the terroirs of Cornas, a place apart in the Rhône Valley. A mythical terroir as well as the evocation of some legendary winemakers (Alain Voge, Thierry Allemand, Clape...). Installed since 1998, Mathieu Barret operates 20ha of vines ideally planted in terraces exposed to the east. Its Cornas wines are labeled under the name "Domaine du Coulet".

Its ambition remains the same since then, namely to produce terroir wines on well-identified climates by adapting to the typical soil of Cornas, made from decomposed granite, called "gore". His work in the vineyard is carried out biodynamically and the grapes are destemmed, Mathieu wishing to give his wines a digestible, fresh and elegant profile.

Since 2017, he has banned oak barrels, now using stainless steel, concrete and ceramics, in constant search of aromatic freshness in wines. Mathieu Barret's wines are dry, gourmet and sincere, just like their creator. Here no severe tannins or rectilinear structure, forget the imagine of Epinal de Cornas, you are the opposite!
