The Winery

Domaine de Beaurenard

Domaine de Beaurenard is one of the most historic and important wineries in the Rhone valley, consistently earning top scores from wine professionals like Steven Tanzer and Robert Parker. The Coulon family purchased the estate in 1695 and have been celebrated for their attention to detail and focused documentation of climate conditions, vineyard yields and diurnal temperature variation ever since. In the early 1900’s the family was extremely influential with the creation of the Appellation Contrôlée rules and regulations in Châteauneuf-du-Pape (which the current AOC system is based on). Over seven generations and 300 years the Coulon’s have grown to own and utilize 74 planted acres in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 60 planted acres in the Côtes du Rhône.

Tasting Notes

WS96
This lush beauty really tames the rugged structure of the vintage, offering gorgeous boysenberry and raspberry confiture layered with mocha, Turkish coffee, licorice and fig paste notes. The long finish has great grip, though it's remarkably well-embedded, allowing the exotic spice notes to linger beautifully. Best from 2010 through 2030.
RP92
Dense dark ruby/purple with a nose of pain grille, melted licorice, espresso, chocolate, blackberry and cherry, the modern-styled 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard has little evidence of spicy oak but is deep in color, structured, masculine, with less flesh than some of the previous top vintages such as 1998, 2000, and 2001, but with plenty of power, concentration, and intensity. This is certainly one of the best Boisrenards since the 2001, and needs a good 4-5 years of bottle age. It should keep for at least two-plus decades.
