Beaurenard's 1994 vintage was extremely successful, as much of their harvest was completed before any damaging rain arrived. Their 1994 Chateauneuf du Pape is a sexy, sweet, rich, black fruit-scented wine with a whiff of Provencal herbs. It is round, generous, and richly fruity, but behind the fruit and flesh is good structure and focus. This is a delicious Chateauneuf du Pape to drink over the next 7-8 years. This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996. It has been a long time since I tasted anything less than a delicious wine from the Coulon family's Domaine de Beaurenard. The wines are classic Chateauneuf du Papes that can be drunk young, but have the ability to age for 10-15 years. With the release of their luxury cuvee, Boisrenard, with the 1990 vintage, the quality jumped even higher. If readers have not yet discovered the wines of Domaine de Beaurenard, it's high time they did. Importers: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.
