Brézème, the most Northern part of the Côtes du Rhône. Renaissance is a selection of Roussanne and Marsanne, with the latter aged for 50% in oak. The oak is obvious, especially in the nose. Richer than the Monicault, but not sure if the oak is adding to the quality. At this stage, I prefer the tension of the Monicault. Abv. 14%
