From the high up Arlettes vineyard, this cuvée is fermented without any stalks. An opulent and incredibly refined Cornas that absolutely sings with perfumed black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, plum and violet notes. Despite the wine's great finesse there is a noticeable underlying weight and drive behind it, whilst a core of beautifully silky ripe tannins provide fantastic focus and structure.
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.
