Domaine de Beaurenard

Domaine de Beaurenard has been a family estate for 7 generations in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the Rhônes Valley. A deed dated December 16, 1695, mentions "Bois Renard", which became "Beaurenard" over the years. The Coulon brothers, Daniel and Frédéric, succeeded their parents Paul and Régine, and are committed to perpetuating the tradition. Domaine de Beaurenard covers 32 hectares of vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 25 hectares of Côtes du Rhône Villages Rasteau.

The terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is unique, with its large pebbles which, when heated by the sun, providentially diffuse a gentle warmth into the soil, favoring the ripening and concentration of the grapes. Domaine de Beaurenard boasts the "Symphony of 13 grape varieties" characteristic of the appellation, providing aromatic complexity, power and balance. For red wines, 4 grape varieties dominate: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, complemented by Counoise, Muscardin, Terret noir and Vaccarèse. The whites are made from white grapes: Clairette, Roussane, Bourboulenc, Grenache blanc, Picardan and Picpoul. The average age of the Domaine de Beaurenard vines is around 45 years, with yields at Châteauneuf varying from 25 to 35 hl/ha.
