Domaine du Coulet was set up by the grandfather of current vigneron Matthieu Barret after the second world war. Matthieu's father had no interest in being a vigneron, so Mattieu took control of the estate at the youthful age of 23. Almost immediately he began to transform the vineyards away from conventional farming to organic, then biodynamic practices, and the domaine was officially certified biodynamic by 2002. The Syrah parcels are found on the terraced hillsides of Cornas.
