Summary
Domaine Beaurenard is currently operated by the seventh generation of the Coulon family, brothers Frédéric and Daniel. The name originated in 1695 as “Bois Renard” and has become “Beaurenard,“ then “Boisrenard,“ the current name today. The domaine has 32 hectares of vineyards spread throughout 25 different parcels in various parts of the appellation, and uses all of the authorized grape varieties. The average vine age of the domaine’s holdings surpasses 45, with some plots exceeding 100 years of age.
Style & Vinification Techniques
The winery has undergone modernization under the current generation of management, including the addition of stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks equipped with an automated pigeage function. Efforts are made to harvest the grapes at optimum maturity, which can mean that the harvest often stretches across many weeks, depending on grape variety. The grapes are then de-stemmed and co-fermented in a combination of steel and wooden vats. A portion of the wine is aged in small oak barrels.
