Matthieu Barret ‘Petit Ours’ Rosé 2025 Review
This 100 percent Grenache rosé from the Southern Rhône is as inviting and friendly as the joyful pink teddy bear presented on its iridescent label. The grapes are sourced from a biodynamic estate in Roussas, about an hour south of Cornas, where Matthieu Barret crafts his beloved reds. Instead of going the crisp, lean route, this wine showcases the juicy, red fruit-forward side of Grenache, bursting with notes of ripe cherries and raspberries. The palate has a great depth of fruit, but with bright acidity to break through the richness.
