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.

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 dark hued juice, with complex notes of blackberries, cherry, raspberry and spices... Palate: deep, beautiful, fruity tannins, a harmonious marriage between power and freshness… with a spicy finish. Decanting is recommended in its youth.

Yes, another little bomb of freshness and finesse.... Palate: Drinkability! Are Domaine L’Anglore’s mythic wines too rare in your cellar? Well, taste Calcaires, this is a very serious cuvée from Nico!
Minimal sulphites
A freshness bomb, with notes of apple and almond... Palate: rich and concentrated, fruity, the maceration is noticeable in a subtle way, a balanced juice with a lot of finesse.

Nose carried by notes of apricot, quince, bergamot, shelled almond... Structured palate, slightly oxidative, beautiful volume, a sublime wine, but is that even a surprise with Nicolas?!
Minimal sulphites
A sunny wine, like the photo on the label, taken by Nico on the tropical island of Reunion! 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
What an incredible wine, what a slap in the face! The nose is intense, with oxidative notes of orange peel, almonds, honey and walnuts, much like a vin jaune from the Jura. Palate: enormous volume, a long finish... take your time, this is a wine for meditation!
