Domaine du Coulet - Matthieu Barret - ZinZin 2018
Domaine du Coulet is located in Cornas, in the Rhône Valley. It has belonged to Matthieu Barret since 1998. He offers two distinct ranges of wines which are produced on the same convictions: the “Domaine” range which comes exclusively from grapes from the Domaine du Coulet vineyard, very oriented on the expression of minerality and of the terroirs of Cornas. His other range, Matthieu Barret SARL, is based on sharing with other producers. The way to create the different selections is multiple and depends on its partners, their desires and the purpose which must be as close as possible to the vineyard. The vines are cultivated organically and biodynamically.
Zinzin is a blend of Mourvèdre, Carignan and Grenache from the Visan appellation. The grapes are harvested manually and then destemmed. Fermentation is carried out in concrete vats and aging lasts 9 months. The wine is bottled without the addition of sulfur.
Grape varieties: Mourvèdre, Carignan, Grenache
