"Ambitious but also very elegant, well-constructed, great savory and racy body, deep length, brilliant dimension, very fine balance, class." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2023) Brilliantly beautiful, the wine shows great breadth in an unctuous texture. The finish is long and persistent, held together by great salinity on the finish.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2023) 97/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Ambitious but also very elegant, well-crafted, with great, racy, flavorful substance, deep length, brilliant dimension, very fine balance, classy.
About the domain :
Beaurenard is one of the appellation's best-known names. 32 hectares of vines in Châteauneuf and 25 in Côtes du Rhône and Rasteau constitute a solid heritage, cultivated biodynamically by the Coulon brothers, who were recently joined by the very likeable and brilliant Victor Coulon, the latest generation of the dynasty. The house style is masterful and promises surprises for those who wait. The new and exciting cuvée, gran-partita, inspired by Mozart, with its 13 blended grape varieties, meets with our full approval. An undeniable success in terms of quality, it brings to the domaine that touch of madness that was sometimes lacking in the rest of the range. Well done!
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Since 1929, 7 generations have succeeded to Daniel and Frédéric Coulon, at the head of a 63-hectare vineyard managed with certified organic and biodynamic methods. A sure bet in the southern valley, for Châteauneuf, Rasteau (dry and sweet) and Côtes-du-Rhône.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated 5*Stars (Outstanding production)
About the domain :
The Coulon family has been cultivating vines for seven generations. Paul and Régine, with their two sons, Daniel and Frédéric, currently manage 30 hectares in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation and 25 in the Côtes-du-Rhône, with quite different terroirs. The reds are destemmed and then lightly crushed. Aged for 9 to 15 months in oak barrels and foudres. The wines bear witness to a fine mastery of vinification, often with great elegance in the whites.

Rated wine (guide 2022) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The palette shows a certain maturity. The volume on the palate is broader, well above that of the cuvée domaine in terms of volume and density.
About the domain :
You need to have tasted old Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the 1950s and 1960s at Domaine Beaurenard to understand both the potential and the evolution of production at this emblematic estate. Without denying their heritage, the Coulon brothers have moved towards greater modernity. The reds have become darker, denser, with a certain search for power, even a touch of austerity. In both colors, ageing is marked by a strong woodiness, particularly in Boisrenard. In recent vintages, their wines seem to have found a better balance: they are more dynamic and lively. Better able to absorb their ageing, they more accurately convey promising fruit from a young age, and a beautiful energy drawn from the soil, which will accompany them over time.
