Domaine de Beaurenard History, Overview

Domaine de Beaurenard is another Chateauneuf du Pape estate that can be called a true, family affair. That’s because the vineyards have been in the same family for 7 generations. Domaine de Beaurenard dates way back to 1695. At the time, it went under the name of “Bois Renard,” which as you might guess, is where the special Cuvee, used for both their red and white wines got its name.

Today, Domaine de Beaurenard is managed by Frederic Coulon and Daniel Coulon. Domaine de Beaurenard has been producing, bottling, and marketing their own wine for close to 100 years. They began making their own wine at Domaine de Beaurenard in 1929.

Due to the worldwide depression that was just starting to sink in, this was as you might imagine, quite a difficult way to start a new winery in the Southern Rhone Valley. However, as you can easily see, they survived and prospered.

Domaine de Beaurenard remains a family run estate. The sons of Daniel Coulon are becoming increasingly involved with the property. Over the next several years, you can expect that Antonin Coulon and Victor Coulon will eventually take over managing the property.

Domaine de Beaurenard Vineyards, Wines, Winemaking

Domaine de Beaurenard possesses 32 hectares of vines in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. 28 hectares are used for producing red wine grapes and 4 hectares are reserved for making white Chateauneuf du Pape wine. The vines are located in 25 separate parcels, with much of their Grenache planted in the Cabrieres lieu-dit.

They have a terroir with clay, limestone, and large stones in the soil. They have old vines, with some of the Grenache dating back over 100 years. Domaine de Beaurenard also owns 15 hectares of vineyards in the Cotes du Rhone Villages and 62 hectares of vines in the Rasteau AOC.

While Domaine de Beaurenard grows all 13 Rhone allowed grape varieties for use in their red wine, the primary grapes used in the blend are; Grenache, Syrah, MourvedreCinsault, and tiny amounts of Counoise, Muscardin, Terret and Vaccarese.

For their Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, they primarily use Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Picardan and Picpoul in the blend. The vineyards of Domaine de Beaurenard are planted with vines that are close to 45 years of age.

At Domaine de Beaurenard, they practice traditional vineyard management and wine-making techniques. In fact, Domaine de Beaurenard has organic as well as biodynamic in their approach to vineyard management since the 2010 vintage. They also plow several of their vineyards using horses.

They have taken this a step further here however as they now have their own massal selection program. To create their massal selection, starting in 2007, they took cuttings from each of the 13 grape varieties planted that were considered old vines, (more than 100 years of age) and placed those in a specific 1-hectare parcel to aid in the propagation of their genetic material.

In 2004, the winemaking facilities were modernized. At the time, they added several small, truncated, conical, oak vats. With a total of twenty-four temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats, they are able to vinify on a parcel by parcel basis. After finishing the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is moved into oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.

The wine is aged in three different sized vats, 30 hectoliter foudres, 80 hectoliter truncated oak vats, and 228-liter oak barrels for between 9 to 18 months depending on the wine and the character of the vintage.
