Domaine de Beaurenard Rasteau 2020
Domaine de Beaurenard has been a family-run estate for eight generations. Today, brothers Daniel & Frédéric Coulon and Daniel’s sons Victor and Antonin are dedicated to producing the most essential expressions of this historic region, long sought-after by discerning collectors and enthusiasts around the globe. Domaine de Beaurenard has been producing certified biodynamic wines on more than 80 acres of this celebrated terroir since 2011. Domaine de Beaurenard is also established in the up and coming Rasteau Appellation with 60 acres and in Côtes du Rhône with 25 acres both also certified biodynamic by Demeter and certified organic by Ecocert.
100% Estate grown fruit from the Coulon family’s 60 acre holdings in Rasteau. A blend of 80% Grenache, 17% Syrah and 3% Mourvèdre, co-harvested and co-fermented to increase the complexity of the wine. The vineyards are well oriented south-facing slopes and terraces which offer ideal sunshine exposure. The vines flourish in low-yielding (25-38 hl/ha), stony limestone clay soil and find their full expression thanks to certified organic and biodynamic agriculture.

Showcases soft blackberry and steeped plum flavors that are approachable and round, with pencil shavings, flashes of anise and grilled thyme adding intrigue. Juicy and tasty, with nice integration on the palate and good overall length. - Wine Spectator, 90 pts
