Domaine de Beaurenard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape has been a family-run estate for seven generations. A notarial act dated 16 December 1695 mentions “Bois Renard”, which over time has become “Beaurenard”. The Coulon brothers, Daniel and Frédéric, have taken over from Paul and Régine and are striving to sustain tradition. The estate covers 33 hectares (a little under 80 acres) of vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 25 hectares in Rasteau AOC, and 9 hectares in Côtes du Rhône.
The Rasteau 2020 offers intense aromas of black fruit and blueberries, lifted by a touch of spice. The density and depth of the palate associate fruit and minerality with remarkable persistence.
“Showcases soft blackberry and steeped plum flavors that are approachable and round, with pencil shavings, flashes of anise and grilled thyme adding intrigue. Juicy and tasty, with nice integration on the palate and good overall length.” (AN) (12/22)
