Domaine de Beaurenard 'Le Petit Renard' Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge 2023

A fresh, approachable Côtes du Rhône from Domaine de Beaurenard, made under the “Le Petit Renard” label as a more casual, fruit-forward expression of the estate’s southern Rhône vineyards. The blend is typically led by Grenache and Syrah, with a small touch of complementary varieties that add lift and aromatic detail.

The grapes are harvested from well-sunned parcels on clay-limestone soils, then fermented in stainless steel and concrete with gentle extraction to preserve purity and drinkability. The focus is on clarity and immediacy rather than structure or heavy oak influence.

The result is a juicy, easygoing red with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and red plum, accented by subtle herbs and a touch of spice. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and lively freshness, it finishes smooth, fruity, and lightly savory, capturing the charm of everyday Rhône drinking.
