A key figure in modern Cornas
Since taking over the family estate in the late 1990s, Matthieu Barret has become one of the leading names in the Northern Rhône. His wines are more vibrant, approachable, and refined than the traditional style often associated with Cornas.
Today, his bottles are highly appreciated by both Rhône enthusiasts and lovers of natural, terroir-driven wines.
A minimalist philosophy
The estate has been farmed biodynamically for many years. In both vineyard and cellar, the goal is simple: intervene as little as possible to preserve purity and terroir expression.
The result is wines that are:
- vibrant and precise
- elegant rather than heavy
- fresh and energetic
- true to Cornas granite soils
The wine style
Matthieu Barret’s Syrahs combine dark fruit, spices, violet, and black olive aromas with freshness and silky texture. Powerful yet digestible, they can be enjoyed young or cellared for many years.
