Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils)
Boisrenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dark purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Black fruits with wood, earth and chocolate notes on the nose.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, peppercorn, coffee, earth and black tea.
Medium plus on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and concentrated. Showing good structure, but still very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Complex and well balanced, tangy and engaging. The high alcohol is not too noticeable. Needs time to open up properly, so be patient.
Wine Spectator 92 points. Robert Parker 94 points.
A good quality wine that will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of mostly Grenache, with all 13 grape varieties allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, from 80 year old vines. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100.

Soft red berry and underbrush nose led a plush, smooth and liquored-up core of red plum and kirsch. Lots of variation in this case but I loved em all so far.

Reddish violet color. Translucent but dark. Warm fruit nose. Notes of red cherry, kirsch, herbs, Warm in the mouth, almost to a fault, thanks to the vintage. Rich. Overwhelming. Not my cup of tea.

Sep 3rd, 2018Starting to smell musty and old in the nose. A long way to go in the glass. Dusty fruit, crushed rock, spice in every corner of your mouth.

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits with spice and blossom notes. On the palate black cherry and blackberry flavors with tea and black pepper spice. Fine firm tannins, good integration and balance, medium+ finish ending with ripe fruit character. Nice!

This was a ringer among 12 blind vintages of Beacastel and was my fave. Most everything you want in a CdP. Deep and dark with a big nose and bigger finish.

A little Rhône fun during Christmas Eve dinner with a North/South option for our surf and turf affair of sous vide New York Strips and Ribeyes with King Crab legs. Popped and poured, this was a magnificent and lush example with perfectly ripe brambles, garrigue and spiced fruitcake. Mouth coating without feeling heavy or overbearing in anyway. Tannins are resolved and I can say with a high degree of confidence that these are in a great place for drinking now. In case anyone was wondering, the Northern Rhône we drank alongside was a European bottled B. Levet Côte Rôtie “Les Journaries” (known there as “La Maestria”).
