Matthieu Barret has been making wine at Domaine du Coulet since 1998. It was Stéphane Tissot, one of Jura's most famous vignerons, who first gave Barret the nickname "Petit Ours Brun" (little brown bear), and it quickly caught on among his vigneron peers, and even found its way onto his wine labels, such as his red and white cuvées Petit Ours Brun and Petit Ours Blanc. The estate’s 10 hectares represent a superb terroir made up of very decomposed granite or "Gore" and a swathe of clayey/loamy soil. As for Matthieu, he seeks a natural equilibrium in his vines: "Great wines are simply made from grapes,” he says. “No vinification, flawless as it might be, can create what you can obtain naturally. The grape holds this magic within. So it's up to us not to destroy it. I stay flexible in my approach to vinification, to allow each wine to come into its own in its own way, and best express its terroir and its vintage." This bear will protect his nectar tooth and claw! Luckily for us, he’s also more than happy to share.
Minimal sulphites
A very expressive and floral nose, with notes of apricot and dried fruit. The palate is bold yet smooth, well-balanced, and mineralesque, with fine bitter notes. A beautiful success, a wine to (re)discover!
Minimal sulphites
A few words from Matthieu: aromatic with notes of ripe red fruits, spices and white pepper, powerful wine with elegant tannins, fresh ending with minerality, a velvety and fresh wine.

A smooth drinking delicacy, with lovely balance, a hint of freshness, and abundant fruit aromas. Pure happiness... Ultra silky on the palate! A very chic cuvée for the thirsty!
Sulphites-free wine
A free-flowing Cornas, driven by cinnamon, pepper, mint, blackberry and blueberry... Full-bodied and perfectly digestible, the aromas are in perfect harmony with the nose, with a long, floral finish.
Minimal sulphites
A few words from Matthieu: "A wine with a clear "clairet"-like color and very expressive aromatic power, explosive ripe fruit, coated palate reminiscent of certain white wines and a fresh finish."
