Nicolas Renaud is a thirty-something winemaker settled since 2007 just next to Tavel and Avignon. His adventure began in 2003 when Nicolas, a disciple of Eric Pfifferling of the Domaine de l'Anglore, decided to trade his career in public education for the hard but liberating profession of a vigneron. Formerly a professor of history and geography, he got trained into his new profession at Domaine de la Vieille Julienne, bought a handful of vines in 2006 then a full 4.5 hectares in 2007. Today, the estate consists of 14 hectares, farmed biodynamically in their entirety. Nicolas, like Eric, ranks among a small number of Rhône vignerons who aren’t interested in over-extraction and making heavy wines. Nicolas seeks drinkability and fruit, as naturally as possible, and with an enduring leitmotiv: to respect the vine, is to respect oneself. His jubilant juice is reaching a level of such quality that Nicolas undeniably deserves to be ranked among the most dependably delicious vignerons of the southern Rhône.
Sulphites-free wine
With a rather light red bouquet, this is yet another little fruit bomb from Nicolas Renaud, ultra floral and full of freshness... Palate: DRINKABILITY! As delicious as ever, we are delighted to taste Nico’s wines year in year out – hats off to the artist!
Minimal sulphites
A huge wine! Better than Calcaires! Yes, it’s possible. A nose of black fruit, spices, flowers... Palate: drinkability? Always! And when Grenache tastes like a great Burgundy Pinot Noir, it’s just crazy.
Minimal sulphites
A cuvée and an aromatic expression that are radically different for each vintage, which is a big success every time: a little fruit bomb, with flowers to boot. Palate: deep rosé, essential easy drinking glouglou wine for your collection, a great cuvée for natural-wine lovers.
Sulphites-free wine
A sunny wine, with a nose of black fruits, cocoa, pepper, and roasted notes... With its fresh, full-bodied palate, this wine is a pure delight, boasting elegance and depth. Yet another favourite from Clos des Grillons!
Minimal sulphites
Second vintage for this cuvée that opens with notes of... strawberry tart! Red currant jelly, cherry, blood orange... A juicy, indulgent rosé with lovely structure, fluidity, and freshness from start to finish.
