Winemaker: Matthieu Barret
- From the Ardeche, part of northern Rhône mostly known for the famous AOC wines of Cornas and St. Joseph
- 7th generation vigneron Matthieu (nicknamed the Little Bear, or Petit Ours) took over the family estate in Cornas from grandpa at age 23
- A big believer in biodiversity, he creates ‘green spaces’ around the farm, digging watering holes to nourish a diverse ecosystem of vines, forest, meadow, and woodland. No machines\ are used, only mules, horses and human hands
- Light and silky, a more feminine take on Syrah
- Juicy red fruit, flowers and black pepper
- Chillable, if you please
