Matthieu Barret 'Petit Ours' Cotes du Rhone 2023

From Rhône icon Matthieu Barret, Petit Ours is his organically farmed, naturally made 100% Syrah from high-altitude parcels in the northern Ardèche. It’s a fresh, pure, floral style of Syrah that shows Barret’s signature finesse — juicy, lifted, and irresistibly drinkable.

Tasting Notes
Dark ruby in color with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violet, and cracked pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, showing fresh black fruit, gentle spice, subtle olive, and clean, savory lift. Smooth texture, bright fruit, and a lightly peppery finish.

Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled skirt steak or herb-roasted chicken, where the wine’s peppery fruit and freshness keep the dishes lively. For something fun, try it with a smashburger or charred vegetable kebabs — its juicy, silky Syrah character plays beautifully with char and fat.
