80% Viognier; 10% Roussanne; 10% Marsanne — 3 years ago
Lovely blend. Well balanced and crisp. The Chardonnay supports while the Pinot stars. This bottle made for a great companion on a sunny afternoon in quarantine. — 5 years ago
Wasn’t familiar with the producer but very pleased with the bottle. Concern over a slight effervescence was no concern at all as it burned off after decanting. Well balanced with a spicy finish (white pepper). Crushed cherries on the palate. Low alcohol wine made for food. The wine list at Voyseys at the Kiawah Island Club always has great wines at extremely fair prices. — 6 years ago

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% — a year ago

The nose is bright and youthfully complex, offering up scents of yellow stone fruits (apricots, peaches, yellow plums), fresh-baked bread and a touch of smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and focused, with zesty notes. Frothy mousse and very good length and grip on the still fairly primary finish — 16 days ago
