2024 Famille Coulon "Petit Renard" Rhone Valley, France

ABOUT THE WINE
"Petit Renard" (Little Fox) is a youthful, lively blend rooted in the Coulon family's organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards near Cairanne. Composed primarily of Grenache with Syrah and Cinsault, the wine comes from younger vines planted on stony alluvial soils. The 2024 vintage was fermented with native yeasts in concrete and steel tanks to preserve fruit purity and freshness, with gentle extraction and minimal intervention throughout. The result is a lithe, expressive Rhône red with lifted aromatics, ripe red fruit, garrigue, and spice. Serve slightly chilled alongside roast chicken, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, or Mediterranean mezze.
