This wine has a very expressive nose with aromas of stone fruits and white flowers, which carry through to the palate. The palate has good intensity of fruit flavours with notes of white peach and pear, and juicy acidity.

The vineyards for the ‘Petit Ours’ Blanc are planted around the village of Autichamps in Northern Drôme at an altitude of 420 metres, bringing freshness to the finished wine. The soils here are a mixture of clay, silt and sand above hard limestone mother rock. The vines are farmed organically and biodynamically.

Matthieu Barret of Domaine du Coulet also works with trusted growers who share his viticultural and winemaking values to produce a range of négociant wines from the Northern and Southern Rhône. The concept is light-hearted, as reflected by the joyful bear on the label (“a self-portrait” jokes the short and stocky Barret), with wines that are approachable in their youth
