Description
What kind of wine it is
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge from Domaine de Beaurenard is an organic red wine produced in the Rhône Valley. Made from Grenache grapes, it stands out for its intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it reveals clear aromas of red fruits that lead to an elegant and characterful palate, supported by a pleasant freshness. This wine pairs ideally with pork dishes and mature cheeses, showing its best when served at a temperature between eighteen and twenty degrees.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, an area renowned for its extraordinary geological complexity. The vines grow in a terroir where limestone rock alternates with the characteristic round pebbles, set on a clay subsoil rich in iron and sedimentary sand. This particular soil composition gives the wine a unique sense of place. The Domaine de Beaurenard family has cultivated these lands for seven generations, following the principles of organic viticulture.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting, followed by co-fermentation of the grapes. A long period in vats allows for a gentle extraction of aromatic components. Ageing, which lasts twelve months, takes place in conical vats and barrels, a choice aimed at structuring the wine while preserving the freshness of the fruit. The result is a red wine with solid ageing potential, capable of maturing beautifully in the cellar for a period of between ten and fifteen years.
History and Curiosities
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC 2021 celebrates the legacy of Domaine de Beaurenard, the result of a passion passed down through seven generations. Born from organic Grenache grapes grown on a terroir of limestone and smooth pebbles, this wine expresses a distinctive identity. The co-fermentation with gentle extraction and twelve months of ageing between vats and barrels enhance its elegant texture and intense aromas of red fruits. Awarded 94 points by Robert Parker, this organic still red offers vibrant acidity and excellent ageing potential.
