Intense black fruit and blueberry with raspberry, a touch of spice and sappy garrigue, mint and basil. Medium to full-bodied, with density and depth, a seamless texture that marries fruit and minerality, and remarkable persistence.

Close80% Grenache, 17% Syrah, 3% Mourvèdre
Food pairings: Beef stew, grilled sausages, roasted root vegetables and hearty casseroles.
Winemaking: The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, harvested and co-fermented together with native yeasts, with 18 to 26 days of vatting for soft extraction. The wine is matured for 12 months in vats and oak foudres. 2022 was a very warm and dry year; rain at the end of August and in early September helped the vines ripen normally, while drought and three episodes of hail reduced the crop.
Vineyards and terroir: The wine is 100% estate grown from the Coulon family's 60 acres in Rasteau, on fully south-facing slopes and terraces of stony limestone-clay soil, with vines 20 to 40 years old and low yields. The estate is certified organic (Ecocert, 2010) and biodynamic (Demeter, 2011).
Family and history: The name "Bois Renard" first appears in records in 1695. Paul Coulon founded the domaine as it is known today in 1964 and created the Musée du Vigneron in Rasteau. His sons Daniel (seventh generation) and Frédéric joined in 1980 and 1988, and Daniel's sons Antonin and Victor now represent the eighth generation of the family.
