2008 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
The 2008 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc offers up pretty floral, citrus and mineral aromas, medium body and clean, pure fruit on the nice finish. Drink over the short term. (88 pts.)
2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Boisrenard (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Seeing close to 18 months in barrique, the 2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Boisrenard shows stunning, tropical aromatics of pineapple, peach, vanilla and smoke. There’s nice ripeness but also notable lift and freshness as well. The palate is medium to full bodied with impressive balance, nice cut and precision and a long, enjoyable finish. (91 pts.)
2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Côtes du Rhône (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône)
The 2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Côtes du Rhône offers up complex and pretty aromatics of black cherry, lavender and garrigue that lead into a medium bodied, slightly lean palate. This is a good wine that I think should be consumed while the fruit holds. (85 pts.)
2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
The 2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape exhibits nice black cherry, meat, leather and earthy aromatics but lacks a little charm on the palate. Medium bodied, structured and tannic; this does finish well but the overall lean profile is worrisome. My best guess is to drink over the short term. (87 pts.)
2007 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
The 2007 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape is filled with black cherry and subtle raspberry fruit, earth and mineral aromas that lead into a medium bodied, bright, pure wine. Picks up ripe, fine grained tannins on the long finish. (90 pts.)
2004 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
This bottle of 2004 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard was much more dense and unforgiving than previous bottles and showed dark, earthy fruit, raw meat, smoke and charcoal aromas, medium body and crisp acidity. Structured and dense, this has lots of tannins to flesh out. (90+?)
2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Showing lots of vanilla and oak at the moment (this sees 18 months in barrique), the 2006 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard offers up smoky dark fruit and meaty notes to go with a structured, medium bodied palate. As with this producers traditional Chateauneuf in ’06, I question if this wine has enough fruit to handle its formidable, tannic backbone. Still, it’s an outstanding wine with plenty of depth and quality fruit. (91+? pts.)
2007 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
The 2007 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard exhibits copious amounts of spicy oak, tobacco and roasted meat notes that are intermixed with beautiful cassis and blackberry fruit. In the mouth, it’s medium to full bodied with nice concentration, beautiful purity and admirable balance. Give this a couple of years to integrate its barrique elevage and then drink over the next 15. (94 pts.)
