Met during the lounge Vintage Bio 2015 to Montpellier thanks to my friend Antoon Laurent (WinePatriot.com), Daniel Coulon winemaker impeccable appearance has made us taste his beautiful range of wines from the Rhone Valley that has nothing to envy of biggest names in the region. I chose with him 2 Crus of the Domaine Beaurenard representative to do the job of my usual pairings following our interview : the white and red of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This 32 acres vineyard worked for 50 years with respect for the terroir has become one of the jewels in bio-dynamic in its name : the yield per hectare remains low about 25hl / ha.

Put in a carafe of this garnet red wine with ruby hues, vaporizes immediately floral fresh scent (iris, eucalyptus) immortalised by the finesse of the berries (gooseberry, raspberry), the olfactory sensation of bees wax, the tobacco leaf sprinkled with notes of white pepper.

After 2 h of patience in order to taste this concoction with seductive aromas, mouth indicates a purity of rare elegance where the tannins present fluid capture our taste buds in a set of aerial fruity flavours combined with minerals. Energizing wine, great vivacity to the androgynous sensuality, who covets the desire to pursue the exciting adventure created by the mysterious »Beaurenard ».

Music in pairing of the same vintage, enigmatic in its futuristic sonic design where them varied electro effects supported by the low round synth and the rhythmic cycle, just highlight the strength of surprising wine by combining refined its scalable fragrances.

The perpetual voice gimmick of the piece coupled with the sounds metallic tubular accentuate the sensations of the purified universe of wine and unique sensuality between the real and the unreal, modelled on the musical spell described by keyboard Rhodes espousing progressive voices fostered.

A great modern wine ethereal and true in contrast flavoured with the composition to the avant-garde harmonies between organic and synthetic notes in unison.

Grapes : 70% grenache, mourvèdre, syrah, cinsault

A decanter is essential to reveal the aromas of this white wine which the insolent golden color captivates our eyes amazed.

The complex bouquet reveals a range of fragrances fine around anise,acacia, white peach, pear Williams, fresh almonds and a slight buttery sensation : a very interesting balance between roundness and energetic freshness develops an attractive mixed sensuality.

The fleshy mouth equivalent to those of the nose with a supreme power coveting harmony rich flavoured become during aging. A specific wine where the fascinating taste liveliness blends to perfection with the graceful olfactory amplitude.

The given composition where the androgynous cool haunting the artist’s voice coupled with the spicy intense electro arrangement, the piano playing frantic, piercing metal percussions and effects swirling synth, exudes this strong energy in the image of the existing one in the wine.

Progressive orchestration tense, ample and deep song stresses the same characteristics found in the fiery world of this wine in full evolution.

A wine of rhythm, where the tension plays on the melody with gusto, the piece of the same vintage merges these sensations with the same delicacy.
