"Six grape varieties come together in perfect harmony to create a refined, fresh, and briny wine."
“A well-balanced, concentrated, and elegantly crafted white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. On the nose, it offers notes of dried apples, lime zest, and wild herbs. Medium-bodied, it displays a refined character and a silky texture. Precise, textured, flavorful, and subtle.” (James Suckling 2024)

Rated estate (2021 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Beaurenard is one of the appellation’s most reliable names. Thirty-two hectares of vineyards in Châteauneuf and 25 in Côtes du Rhône and Rasteau form a solid foundation, cultivated using biodynamic methods by the Coulon brothers, who have recently been joined by the very friendly and brilliant Victor Coulon, the latest generation of the dynasty. The estate’s style is executed with great mastery and promises wonderful surprises for those willing to wait. Of particular note is the exciting new cuvée, Gran-Partita—inspired by Mozart—a blend of 13 grape varieties that has our full endorsement. An undeniable triumph in terms of quality, it brings to the estate that touch of whimsy that was sometimes missing from the rest of the lineup. Bravo!

About the estate:
Since 1929, seven generations have succeeded one another, leading up to Daniel and Frédéric Coulon, who now manage a 63-hectare vineyard certified as organic and biodynamic. A reliable choice in the southern valley, whether in Châteauneuf, Rasteau (dry and sweet), or Côtes-du-Rhône.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
5-Star Rated Estate (Outstanding Production)
About the estate:
The Coulon family has been growing grapes for seven generations. Paul and Régine, along with their two sons, Daniel and Frédéric, currently manage thirty hectares in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation and twenty-five in Côtes-du-Rhône, with quite different terroirs. The red grapes are destemmed and then lightly crushed. Aging takes place for 9 to 15 months in oak barrels and casks. The wines demonstrate a fine command of winemaking techniques, with the whites often displaying great elegance.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, a blend of 30% Clairette, 22% Roussanne, 25% Bourboulenc, 20% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picoul Blanc, and 1% Picardan, offers aromas of spices, white fruits, lemon oil, and white flowers intertwined with lactic notes. Medium-bodied, balanced, and powerful, it is slightly spicy and oaky on the finish, ending with a short, heavy aftertaste. Aged in new barrels (3%), used barrels (15%), and stainless steel (82%), it is made from grapes grown on chalk, safre, and rounded pebbles.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A truly classic expression of the appellation’s white wines (floral, minty, white peach…). Fresher on the palate than the 2022 vintage. The palate clearly reflects the vintage’s character, with greater fluidity and less opulence. A briny finish.
About the estate:
You have to have tasted the old Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines from the 1950s and 1960s produced by Domaine Beaurenard to fully understand both the potential and the evolution of this iconic estate’s production. Without denying their heritage, the Coulon brothers have moved toward a more modern approach. The reds have become dark and dense, with a certain emphasis on power, even a touch of austerity. In both reds and whites, the aging process is marked by pronounced oak influence, particularly in the Boisrenard. Over the past few vintages, their wines seem to have achieved better balance: they are more dynamic and lively. Having better integrated their aging, they more accurately express promising fruit even when young, along with a beautiful energy drawn from the soil that will accompany them over time.
