Barret represents the future in Cornas. His domaine is, in my opinion, the single most exciting new domaine in the appellation today. With his nearly 14 hectares of vines (11 in Cornas), Barret is producing a quartet of wines that represent a new paradigm for Cornas—vivid, exceptionally bright, racy fruit flavors that at the same time harness the taut, sometimes severe minerality of the Syrah grown on the east- and southeast-facing granite slopes above the town. JAMES MOLESWORTH, Wine Spectator March 2009

This Cotes du Rhone is sourced entirely from a single vineyard which sits just outside of Cornas. Produced from 100% biodynamically grown Syrah, the wine sees no oak and is unfined and unfiltered. Wonderfully expressive with fruit in the dark berry spectrum, grilled figs and a rustic earthiness reminiscent of Cornas. On entry there is plenty of energy and a bundle of fruit matched by some grainy tannins. All in all this is a great package. ROSCOE, Prince Wine Store
