Domaine du Coulet, Cornas Brise Cailloux, Rhône, 2017

$203.00

Brise Cailloux is shaped by the steep granite terraces that define Matthieu Barret’s corner of Cornas. The domaine farms biodynamically and works with whole clusters, native yeasts and gentle extraction, keeping the focus on purity and the natural structure that Syrah develops on granite.

This vintage shows dark berry fruit such as blackberry, blueberry and black plum along with violet, olive and a light smoky note. The palate is focused and firm, with tannins that feel well-formed but not aggressive and acidity that keeps the wine direct and energetic. The finish is long and precise, carrying a clear imprint of granite. It is a confident, distinctive Cornas that reflects careful farming and thoughtful winemaking.

Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Cornas, Northern Rhône, France
Farming: Biodynamic practices
Style: Red. Savory, structured and precise
