“The 2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape red is full-bodied and juicy, with rich fruit and a lush mouthfeel, and the ripeness is beautifully balanced. Superb.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2012 - RVF). A Châteauneuf A must-see!

Eye
A superb, deep, brilliant purple color
Nose
sun-kissed, with aromas of ripe fruit and a superb "stony" terroir character that refreshes the nose
Palate
The wine promises to be full-bodied and rich, with aromas of ripe fruit (but not at all overripe). A spicy freshness tingles the taste buds; the finish is long and the tannins are silky.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 biodynamically by the Coulon brothers, who have recently been joined by the very friendly and brilliant Victor Coulon, the latest generation of the dynasty. The house style is masterfully executed and promises delightful 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 we wholeheartedly endorse. An undeniable triumph in quality, it brings to the estate that touch of whimsy that was sometimes missing from the rest of the range. Bravo!

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Since 1929, seven generations have succeeded one another, leading up to Daniel and Frédéric Coulon, who now oversee a 63-hectare vineyard certified as organic and biodynamic. A trusted name in the southern valley, producing wines in Châteauneuf, Rasteau (both dry and sweet), and 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 (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
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 appreciate both the potential and the evolution of this iconic estate’s production. Without turning their backs on their heritage, the Coulon brothers have moved toward a more modern approach. The reds have become dark and dense, with a certain pursuit of power, even a touch of austerity. In both reds and whites, the aging is marked by pronounced oak, particularly in Boisrenard. Over the past few vintages, their wines seem to have found better balance: they are more dynamic and lively. Better absorbing their aging, they more accurately express promising fruit from a young age and a beautiful energy drawn from the soil, which will accompany them over time.
