Domaine de Beaurenard
The Domaine de Beaurenard, whose name derives from the 17th-century toponym 'Bois Renard' (literally 'Fox Wood'), is a family estate consisting of 63 hectares of vineyards spread across Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rasteau, and Côtes-du-Rhône, in Provence. The history of the estate dates back to the 14th century when, during the Avignon papacy, Pope John XXII had a papal castle built in present-day Châteauneuf-du-Pape and, attracted by the exceptional terroir, planted the first vineyards around the castle.
The Domaine de Beaurenard is located in a suggestive area suited for viticulture: the large pebbles, warmed by the sun, impart a gentle and constant heat to the soil that promotes the ripening and concentration of the grapes. Here, 13 grape varieties, both white and red, find their optimal conditions, included in the Châteauneuf denomination, so much so that it is referred to as the "symphony of the 13 grape varieties".
The Domaine de Beaurenard has been in the hands of the Coulon family for seven generations and is now managed by brothers Daniel and Frédéric, who perpetuate not only the tradition
of the family but also the centuries-old tradition of those Provençal wines that were so favored by the popes of Avignon. In respect of this glorious tradition, the work in the vineyard is still carried out manually, and the cultivation is now conducted under organic and biodynamic regimes. The Coulon brothers believe in agriculture in harmony with nature, lunar cycles, planetary movements, and the assistance that biodynamic preparations can provide to strengthen the natural defenses of the vine.
Resulting from extraordinarily genuine techniques and procedures linked to tradition, the wines of Domaine de Beaurenard stand out for their elegance and the finesse of the aromas that emerge from a structure of great respect. The quality and uniqueness of the proposed labels serve as a reminder that good wines can only be born from healthy, well-cultivated grapes, and from rigorous procedures executed by skilled hands, like those of Daniel and Frédéric.
