The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Renaissance is a blend of 35% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette and 15% Bourboulenc. It displays attractive aromas of spring blossom, honeysuckle, acacia, grapefruit, lemon peel and a tropical twist of melon and mango. Medium to full-bodied and framed by lively acidity, the 2021 Renaissance concludes with a bright finish. Regular buyers of this cuvée should note that due to hail damage, there was no wine made from the 2022 vintage. In 2021, only 3,600 bottles were produced.
