Matthieu Barret Cornas Brise Cailloux 2018 Magnum
£149.95
Why Mark chose this
Matthieu has consistently pursued innovation and minimal intervention in the winery. The domain’s grapes are harvested by hand before entering the gravity-fed winery, where they are de-stemmed but not crushed. In 2006, Matthieu decided to use fewer oak barrels in vinification, adopting concrete eggs and diamond-shaped vats to achieve a superior purity of fruit. From the 2017 vintage, he decided to eliminate the use of oak entirely from his winemaking

Tasting Notes
Deep purple in colour, the ‘Brise Cailloux’ has an expressive nose of eucalyptus, blackcurrant and fresh herbs. On the palate, this wine is bright with a mouth-watering minerality, structured tannins and an elegant spicy finish
