They do great work to support the appellation more broadly. They have 70ha spread over Châteauneuf, Rasteau and Côtes-du-Rhône, all of which is farmed biodynamically.

This approach tends to make for better wines, but it’s good for local biodiversity too, from which everyone benefits.

Being staunch believers in Châteauneuf’s heritage grapes, the family have also established a conservatory for all 18 varieties.

Some, such as Piquepoul Gris and Clairette Rose, are hard to find at local vine nurseries, so the Coulon family help neighbouring estates by providing cuttings.

They are deeply invested in their village and its future.

Run by the Coulon family, Domaine de Beaurenard makes a pure, balanced style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that often has a touch of Burgundy in its texture and elegance yet remains distinctly Provençal. The range includes a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the flagship Boisrenard, which is based on 80% Grenache with the rest a mix of all permitted varieties, fully destemmed and aged in foudre. The wines are never the biggest or richest in a vintage, yet they shine for their balance, purity, and ability to age gracefully. In addition to their reds, the estate produces some incredibly impressive whites that are absolutely worth seeking out.
