Famille Coulon Le Petit Renard Blanc 2023

$1899

Antonin and Victor Coulon — the eighth generation at Domaine de Beaurenard in Chateauneuf-du-Pape — saw a gap for accessible everyday wines made the same way the family makes their grand crus: organically and biodynamically farmed, hand-harvested, low-intervention. Le Petit Renard ("little fox") is that project, made with Rhone varieties but with the South of France in mind. The Blanc is a textbook southern Rhone white blend — Roussanne-led (with Marsanne and Viognier), with peach, apricot, and a velvety texture balanced by saline freshness. Totally un-fussy, eminently delicious.

Antonio Galloni

87 points

"This is easy and floral, sporting dandelion and daisy behind Mirabelle plum and yellow cherry. Decent length." —Aleks Zecevic

Wine Spectator

89 points

"A juicy, solid, delicious white, showing star fruit and nectarine notes flanked by wet stone and dried herb accents. Ripe pleasure and savory highlights make this balanced, spicy and bright. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne and Vermentino. Drink now."

More about Famille Coulon

The allure of the Mediterranean is strong — it turns out, even the French aren’t immune to the pull!

The Coulon family has owned the esteemed Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Domaine de Beaurenard for eight generations. They’re organically- and biodynamically-certified not only in Châteauneuf, but also their projects in Rasteau and Côtes du Rhône.

Brothers Antonin and Victor Coulon saw a need for totally un-fussy, eminently delicious, and astonishingly affordable wines. Thus, Petit Renard was born. The “little fox” wines are made with Rhône varieties but with the South of France in mind — easy, breezy blends made with the same careful viticulture and winemaking techniques as the Coulon family’s most expensive Châteauneufs.

Everything is farmed biodynamically, coming from vineyards in AOC Côtes-du-Rhône, AOC Côtes-du-Rhône villages, and AOC Ventoux. In the winery, everything is treated as gently as possible to maximize freshness and pure fruit expression.
