Domaine de Beaurenard Chateauneuf-du-Pape 3L

Beaurenard is an 8th generation family in the village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and this cuvée is an excellent example of classic winemaking.  Hand picked and sorted, with a blend of more than 6 native grape varieties, the winemaking style is definitely hands-off, and Frederic and Daniel Coulon (the owner/winemakers) work organically and biodynamically to ensure that their vines are strong and create top quality grapes.  There is excellent fruit, with lovely minerality and spice notes. This can be enjoyed in its youth, full of primary flavours, or aged for many years if you want to see the evolution of the secondary and tertiary flavours and aromas.

• 93 POINTS, WINE SPECTATOR:
  A second consecutive winner from this fine estate, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is 66% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 6% Cinsault and 3% of the other permitted varieties. Grilled red plums lead off, fleshed out by other ripe stone fruits. Full-bodied and plush, it's creamy in texture through the mid-palate, then long and silky on the finish, where it picks up hints of Asian five spice powder.
