Domaine de Beaurenard
Rasteau
100% Estate grown from the Coulon family’s 60 acre holdings
in Rasteau. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, coharvested and co-fermented to increase the complexity
of the wine from this up and coming AOC, now producing
exceptional red wines in addition to the traditional Vin Doux
Naturel expressions from the region.
Vintage Factsheets
Well oriented south-facing slopes and terraces 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.

Beautifully deep in color, Rasteau offers intense aromas of black fruit and blueberries, lifted by a touch of spice. The density and depth
of the palate associate fruit and minerality with remarkable
persistence.

"There's an alluring prettiness to this solid red, with violet and rose hip high tones overlaying a core of cassis and black raspberry. Both firm and vibrant on the palate, with chalky mineral, iron and cooling river stone notes adding contrast. A smoky incense element plays out on the persistent finish."
