Domaine de Beaurenard

Domaine de Beaurenard is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape family estate farmed by the Coulon family across 95 hectares, with the oldest parcels dating to vines planted in the 1920s. The estate produces one of the appellation's most sought-after prestige cuvées: Boisrenard, a wine sourced from the oldest Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsaut vines on the estate's galets roulés plateau parcels. Boisrenard averages $81 across 105 lots—the most traded wine—with age-worthy concentration that rivals many grander names at a fraction of the cost. The standard Châteauneuf-du-Pape at $69 average across 70 lots provides accessible entry, and the Boisrenard Blanc at $68 average documents the estate's white wine program from Clairette, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc. The portfolio's maximum of $1,434 is exceptional for a Châteauneuf estate at this price tier—reflecting either very old back-vintages of Boisrenard or large formats from landmark years. Total auction presence of 183 lots at $76 average positions Beaurenard as a consistent quality producer: genuine old-vine sourcing and multi-generational farming expertise at prices representing strong value relative to Rayas, Beaucastel, or Henri Bonneau. The domaine also holds parcels in Rasteau and Vacqueyras, though those wines rarely appear in the auction record. The estate's position as one of Châteauneuf's largest family landowners—95 hectares—gives it the critical mass to produce old-vine prestige cuvées while maintaining accessible pricing across the full range.
