Domaine du Coulet (Matthieu Barret) is a 40-acre estate established in 1998 by Matthieu Barret, who was at the time a 23-year-old winemaker. Barret immediately began the process of turning his enterprise into a biodynamic domaine, and in 2002 he received his biodynamic certification. Despite Barret’s relative recent entry into the Cornas appellation, he is winning compliments and very good reviews for his limited production wines, both red and white. Wine Spectator has written that “Matthieu Barret represents the future in Cornas. His domaine is, in my opinion, the single most exciting new domaine in the appellation today.” Wine Advocate has rated some of the wines in the high 90s, and many of the wines in the low- to mid-90s. In 2014 Wine Advocate’s reviewer wrote this: “To say I was blown away by the new releases from the young Matthieu Barret would be an understatement…. All of these are brilliant wines that I can't recommend enough!
