Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Domaine du Coulet, Cornas, Les Billes Noires, 2006

From the high up Arlettes vineyard, this cuvée is fermented without any stalks. Incredibly intense and tight-packed, this shows deep concentration and complexity, really cooling, fresh mineral flavours, notes of red cherry, cherry stone and blackcurrant held together by a firm, ripe tannic backbone. A startling wine, built for the long term.

Domaine du Coulet

On the evidence of owner Mathieu Barret’s first vintage, this Domaine is going places quicker than the TGV. He is a young star who runs his 4 hectares of vineyards biodynamically, one of the only one do so in the region. He owns three parcels of south and southeast exposed vines in the Arlettes, Mazards and Reynards that average 30 years old. The grapes are destalked and vinified in cement eggs and then aged in used oak demi-muids. These is Cornas with a difference, striking bright and almost burgundian in style.
