Wine Insight:
Young and talented winemaker, Matthieu Barret inherited Domaine du Coulet from his grandfather in 1998. His grandfather, who created the domaine after World War II, used for several years to sell the grapes to famous winemakers such as Chapoutier or Delas.
Ever since Matthieu took the helm of the estate and began Domaine du Coulet, he has worked in an organic and biodynamic way. The domaine maintains extremely high standards and since 2002 has been certified biodynamic by ECOCERT and also a member of BIODYVIN. Matthieu continues to evolve as a winemaker while only using natural methods to allow micro-soils to develop and to personalize the wines.They only use all natural yeasts that form on the grapes and use very little sulfur-only 2 g/hl at bottling. Matthieu’s wines are about purity of fruit, distinct minerality and pronounced terroir expression.
Zinzin is a blend of Mourvèdre, Carignan and Grenache from the Visan appellation. The grapes are harvested manually and then destemmed. Fermentation is carried out in concrete vats and aging lasts 9 months. The wine is bottled without the addition of sulfur.
