The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Some of the best ambassadors of the great Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the Coulon brothers cultivate an ambitious style based on a solid heritage, rooted in the best terroirs of Rasteau, Côtes-du-Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The organic farming and the great mastery of vinification and maturation make for impressive bottles who will delight any wine lover who knows how to wait for the wine to reach its peak.

These wines were built for aging, and are of a flawless regularity vintage after vintage. A success now rewarded with a star in the famous French RVF Guide. Although incredibly qualitative, the Beaurenard estate remains discreet…A privileged address reserved for wine lovers only!

Enjoy these 2 wines at a special price. Two Selection Committee Favorites  from our last tasting in the Rhône Valley. Magical!
Wine Formidable with precision and freshness, the 2020 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a very fine nose, with notes of garrigue, dry herbs, fennel and menthol. The delicate structure, of great purity, is built around the six grape varieties authorized by the appellation (a rarity!) and in particular the clairette one, which brings so much finesse, perfume and straightness to the wine. A great gastronomic white wine that will age well. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested, soft and long pressing, co-fermentation and aging of 6 months in stainless steel tanks, small tuns and oak barrels. Certified organic wine by Demeter.
