One of the top wines of Barret's Domaine de Coulet, this Syrah comes from 55 year old vines on decomposed granite soils and has a deep colour with dark black fruit and olive notes. 2015 was one of the all-time great vintages in the Northern Rhône, on par with 1929, 1947, 1961.
The “Brise Cailloux” cuvée comes from a parcel of young Syrah vines planted on granitic soils with a clay-loam band. Aged for 18 months in terracotta jars and concrete in order to preserve all the purity of the fruit. Aging potential of 10 to 15 years minimum.
Gore is made from Syrah whose vines are 50 years old, grown on very degraded granite soil at the top of the lieu-dit called Les Arlettes. The harvest is destemmed and the fermentation lasts 3 weeks in ovoid diamond vats with light punching down. The wine is aged for 24 months in concrete eggs.
