Matthieu Barret

Mas Théo is an organic and biodynamic winery located in Grignan-les-Adhemar, a little-known appellation in the Southern Rhône. Laurent took over his family farm in 1999 with 33ha of vines, 23ha of meadow and 16ha of lavenders. He decided right away to farm organically and got his certification in 2004. The winery received its Demeter certification in 2011. The wines are finished with no additives, except for a touch of sulfites before bottling. Laurent's style is to preserve the fruit of the must without aggressive extracting, just by finding the right balance. The ‘Elevage’ happens exclusively in an old quarry cave called “les caves cathedrals,” which is dug into thick-walled, chalky rock.
