Domaine de Beaurenard Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard Blanc 2024

Drink it now or cellar for up to 25 years. No need to decant, but best to open it an hour before service.

Domaine de Beaurenard is a family-run winery in the Rhône Valley, located in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its history dates back to 1695 and spans eight generations of the Coulon family. Today, the estate boasts approximately 60 hectares of vineyards and is managed by brothers Daniel and Frédéric Coulon and their sons.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard Blanc is a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Clairette Blanche and Rosé, Grenache Blanc and Gris, Bourboulenc, and Roussanne, sourced from a selection of parcels, predominantly old vines, planted on a variety of soils typical of the appellation. After manual harvesting, the wine is fermented in used barrels, and the finished wine then ages in the same containers for a period of six months.

In the glass, the wine reveals an intense and rich aromatic profile with fragrant notes of stone fruit and white flowers, spicy and mineral hints, and a nutty finish. On the palate, it is elegant, concentrated, and rounded, with a medium body and a pleasant burst of freshness. It is taut and energetic, with a distinctive minerality and a long, lingering finish with savory touches. Leave it in the cellar for a few years or enjoy it now with lobster or roasted ham.
