“Vilain” grapes come from 2 sources from Ardeche: 50% from the village of Roussas and 50% from the village of Eclassan. All grapes are harvested by team Barret and brought back to the winery. This Syrah is harvested earlier to work it like a primeur.

In Beaune, Matthieu Barret discovered immediately his proclivity with organic viticulture and with living ecosystems. Beginning with the first vintage in 2000, Matthieu worked principally in the vineyard, applying his hand with organic viticulture. Not content with his end result, in 2006 he decided to radically change his vinification process by using less barrels and replacing them with concrete eggs. His ongoing evolution and pursuit of purity and expression continue to dominate his chais.
