Matthieu Barret Pas Calé Pinot Noir

Matthieu trades a small amount of Syrah from Cornas for Pinot Noir from Pommard with his friend Phillipe Pacalet. The 35-year-old vines are deeply rooted in Jurassic clay-limestone. The grapes undergo carbonic maceration in flex tank for three weeks with occasional pump-overs of released juice. The pressed juice takes an additional two weeks to finish fermenting. The wine then spends eight months aging on full lees before bottling unfined & unfiltered.
