Matthieu Barret Cornas Brise Cailloux 2022

Country: France

Region: Rhône

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Syrah

This vibrant, expressive wine reflects 7th generation winemaker Matthieu Barret's commitment to traditional and minimal-intervention winemaking, showcasing the unique terroir of Cornas in the northern Rhône.

Pure, granite-driven Syrah from biodynamically farmed old vines, aged in concrete eggs and large format barrels to preserve every bit of fruit and terroir. The 2022 shines with notes of dark cherry, crushed violet, black pepper, and a bright iron-y minerality that lifts the whole wine. Juicy and accessible now, but will get even better with age.
