In the wine-growing region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, organic wine is increasingly being used. This is not just a question of lifestyle, it also helps local winemakers to prepare for climate change.

The difference between Domaine de Villeneuve and Domaine de Beaurenard could hardly be greater. The Beaurenard winery is located in the center of the wine village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the southern Rhône, in a not ostentatious, but very representative building with a wrought-iron gate to the street. In the sales room there are glass vessels in which grapes from the most important grape varieties are placed: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Roussane, Clairette, Picpoul … 13 grape varieties are permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, eight red and five white. Decades-old wines rest behind the glass – the Domaine de Beaurenard is now managed by the seventh generation of the Coulon family.
