Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Founded in the late 1600s, Domaine Beaurenard is one of the historic producers of the Rhône Valley, France. This prestigious family-run winery has been owned by the Coulon family for eight generations and boasts over 60 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards spread across the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône, and Rasteau appellations. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the flagship wine of Domaine de Beaurenard, a blend of the appellation's 13 varietals from various plots that reflects the diverse soils of the area, with limestone, rounded pebbles, and a clay base with fine sand. After manual harvesting and co-fermentation, the finished wine ages in a mix of conical vats, large oak barrels, and barriques for one year before bottling. In the glass, the wine reveals a clear, dark ruby color with purple highlights, and a fragrant and captivating aromatic profile with notes of raspberry and forest berries, followed by spicy and licorice notes. On the palate, it is expressive, juicy, and concentrated, with a pleasant, refreshing acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and complex. It pairs perfectly with lamb, pork tenderloin with porcini mushrooms, or game birds.
