With a superb nose bursting with fresh fruit (blueberry, raspberry) and hints of spice and garrigue, this blend of Grenache (80%) and Syrah is a pure delight. The attack is structured and powerful, yet rounded with very refined tannins. A beautiful bottle to share with dishes full of character!

Structured and powerful attack, roundness and finesse of the tannins. Very elegant with a fruit-spice duo: notes of fruit (wild raspberry) and spices (thyme, rosemary). Very nice balance and minerality.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Beaurenard is one of the appellation's sure bets. Thirty-two hectares of vineyards in Châteauneuf and 25 in Côtes du Rhône and Rasteau constitute a solid heritage, 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 masterful and promises wonderful surprises for those who are willing to wait. Of particular note is the exciting new cuvée, Gran-Partita, inspired by Mozart, with its blend of 13 grape varieties, which we wholeheartedly endorse. An undeniable success in terms of quality, it brings to the estate that touch of madness that was sometimes lacking in the rest of the range. Bravo!

About the estate:
Since 1929, seven generations have succeeded one another, culminating in Daniel and Frédéric Coulon, who now run a 63-hectare vineyard certified organic and biodynamic. A sure bet in the southern valley, producing Châteauneuf, Rasteau (dry and sweet), and Côtes-du-Rhône wines.
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 fairly different terroirs. The reds are destemmed and then lightly crushed. They are aged for 9 to 15 months in oak barrels and casks. The wines demonstrate a fine mastery of winemaking, with the whites often displaying great elegance.

Wine rating (2023 guide) 91/100 (2020 vintage)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; 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 the Beaurenard estate to understand both the potential and the evolution of this iconic estate's production. Without denying their heritage, the Coulon brothers have moved towards a more modern style. The reds have become dark and dense, with a certain quest for power and even a touch of austerity. In both colors, the wines are marked by a pronounced woodiness, particularly Boisrenard. In recent vintages, their wines seem to have found a better balance: they are more dynamic and lively. Better absorbing their aging, they more accurately reflect promising fruit from a young age and a beautiful energy drawn from the soil, which will accompany them over time.
