Domaine de Beaurenard Côtes-du-Rhône 2023
Classic upmarket Côtes-du-Rhône, combining juicy red fruit with some of the minerality and spice you find in Châteauneuf.
The vines here grow in complex soils, and the pudding stones so typical of the appellation provide e8tra heat to help the grapes mature. Yields are low and the grapes are picked entirely by hand.
The grapes were destemmed, slightly crushed and placed in a vat for fermentation. A long fermentation period of 18-31 days ensured that the wine gained the desired structure and colour. The wine spent 12-15 months ageing in French oak, with ten percent of the barrels being new.
