Recognizable by his iconic bear logo (symbolizing his nickname \"Petit Ours\"), Barret took over his family's vineyards in 1998 and immediately transitioned the entirety of the estate to organic and certified biodynamic viticulture. In both the vineyard and cellar, Barret rejects wooden barrels, preferring concrete eggs, clay amphorae, and stainless steel tanks to keep the wines vibrant and uncluttered by oak. Winemaking follows strict natural principles: spontaneous fermentations driven by ambient yeasts, no chemical additives, no fining, no filtration, and minimal or no sulfur additions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\"Petit Ours Blanc\" (\"Little Bear White\") is Barret's buoyant, energetic entrance to Northern Rhône whites. Sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards on granite and limestone soils, the hand-picked fruit undergoes a gentle whole-cluster press followed by spontaneous fermentation using native wild yeasts in temperature-controlled concrete eggs and stainless steel vats. Aged on fine lees without oak influence, the 2025 vintage balances Roussanne's natural golden orchard fruit and floral richness with a electric, granite-driven minerality and a mouthwatering, crisp finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthieu Barret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67711474434197,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/matthieu-barret-petit-ours-blanc-vdf-2025-750ml-white-wine-bottle-12-5-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
