2007 Domaine de Beaurenard Chateauneuf-du-Pape

The 2007 Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced by the eighth-generation Coulon family in the southern Rhône, with vineyards averaging 45 years old and including all 13 permitted grape varieties. The wine shows rich aromas of black cherry, blackberry compote, licorice, garrigue, violets, chocolate, and subtle oak. On the palate it is full-bodied and structured, with deep dark fruit, integrated tannins, and a long, savory finish with herbal and mineral undertones. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game, rich stews, or hearty cheeses, and at this stage is well into maturity while still offering rewarding complexity.
