Matthieu Barret Domaine du Coulet Brise Cailloux 2012 (750ML)

92 VM / 16 JR

92 Points Vinous Media: Opaque ruby. A complex, smoky bouquet evokes fresh cherry, cassis, violet and cracked pepper. Sappy, precise and gently sweet on the palate, offering lively dark berry and floral pastille flavors with a salty kick of black olive. The floral note carries through the persistent finish, which features youthfully chewy tannins and a touch of bitter chocolate. Josh Raynolds

Inviting and complex aroma of dark fruit, some oak sweetness but also a savoury meatiness (not brett). Lively and fresh on the finish. A wholesome whole. - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com
