Winemaking
The ‘Petit Ours’ Côtes-du-Rhône, meaning ‘little bear’, is 100% Syrah sourced from vineyards planted on clay and gravel soils surrounding the village of Visan, next to Vinsobres. Situated at 150-250 metres altitude on north-facing slope
Farmed organically and worked using biodynamic methods, in keeping with Matthieu’s philosophy
Hand harvested grapes and destemmed before fermentation, which took place using indigenous yeasts in stainless-steel tanks
After two weeks, the wine was lightly pressed and aged for 10 months in stainless-steel vats
