Domaine de Beaurenard Rasteau Bio 2022

Domaine de Beaurenard’s Rasteau Bio 2022 offers the power associated with this southern Rhône appellation, but with a notably refined and elegant profile. Made from biodynamically farmed vines and a classic blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it is a sophisticated expression of Rasteau rather than an overtly heavy one. Rasteau has held AOC status since 2010 and is renowned for full-bodied red wines from the Rhône’s warm, rugged landscapes.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in appearance, this wine shows the concentration typical of Rasteau while retaining an appealing sense of freshness. The nose is rich and expressive, with ripe dark berries, plum and black cherry complemented by spicy notes and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, Grenache brings generous fruit and warmth, while Syrah contributes structure and savoury spice, and Mourvèdre adds depth and complexity. The texture is powerful yet polished, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced finish. It can be enjoyed now after a little aeration, but should develop further complexity over the next several years.

Production
The biodynamically cultivated vineyards, farmed since 2007, are rooted in clay and limestone soils characteristic of Rasteau. The grapes—80% Grenache Noir, 17% Syrah and 3% Mourvèdre—are harvested by hand and co-fermented. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, followed by approximately three weeks of maceration on the skins, helping to extract colour, structure and flavour while preserving the wine’s natural balance and finesse.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for hearty dishes such as roast lamb, beef stew, grilled or slow-cooked red meats, game and Provençal cuisine with herbs, garlic and olive oil. It also pairs well with mature hard cheeses and richly seasoned vegetarian dishes featuring aubergine or lentils. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes before serving, particularly when opening a young bottle, to allow the wine’s aromas and texture to open up.
