The Coulon family's calling card. Domaine de Beaurenard farms Châteauneuf-du-Pape biodynamically with Demeter certification, and this rouge is what they call their great blending cuvée: Grenache leading Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and a scatter of the appellation's other permitted varieties, drawn from a mosaic of limestone, pebbles and sandy soils. Hand-picked grapes, co-fermented with long gentle vatting, then about 12 months in conical vats, foudres and barrels. Garrigue in a glass. Open it for a Sunday braise with good friends.

Red and black berries, garrigue, black pepper and Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied without heaviness, with supple, finely built tannins, a fresh core of fruit and a long, spicy finish.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.

The Coulon family works a mosaic of Châteauneuf plots on limestone, pebbles over clay and fine safre sands, farmed biodynamically with Demeter certification. Grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, co-fermented with long, soft extractions.
