Cornas AOC Billes Noires 2019 Matthieu Barret - Domaine du Coulet

Cornas Billes Noires by Domaine du Coulet is a red wine produced in France, in the Rhône Valley region. This wine is obtained from Syrah grapes grown on highly degraded granite soil, called "Gore". The vineyard extends for 2 hectares, with an average age of the vines of 65 years.

The vinification involves destemming, spontaneous fermentation and maceration with light punching in concrete vats. Aging takes place for 12 months in 400/600 liter oak barrels, followed by another 12 months in ovoid concrete tanks and a further 12 months in the bottle.

Cornas Billes Noires is a wine of great substance, mineral and concentrated. It stands out for its structure and complexity, combining power and strength with subtlety and elegance. A wine to wait for years to fully appreciate its qualities.

Perfect to pair with a pan-seared duck breast with sweet and sour onions.
