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.
