NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine, Domaine du Coulet - Matthieu Barret Billes Noires Cornas, is a remarkable expression of the Cornas appellation in the Northern Rhône Valley of France.On the nose, expect intense aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, accompanied by hints of black pepper, smoked meat, and earthy undertones. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with firm tannins that provide structure and ageability. Flavors of ripe black fruits, licorice, and spices unfold, leading to a long and persistent finish. It pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, and rich stews. This wine is best enjoyed after a few years of cellaring to allow its flavors to fully develop, but it can also be enjoyed in its youth with proper decanting.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Coulet - Matthieu Barret
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
