Le Renouveau White
CRU DES COTES DU RHONE CAIRANNE WHITE
When we created our Le Renouveau, we wanted to present our young Cairanne vintage as soon as possible. We therefore carried out a relatively short ageing period, in order to highlight the vintage as it was, with what nature had given us at the time. The main idea is to show the full quintessence of a vintage. Our aim is to be ahead of the game: we allow ourselves the freedom to express the vintage accurately and realistically. With our Le Renouveau cuvée, each vintage is different from the last.
THE 2024 VINTAGE
To create this new cuvée, we selected a terroir with mature plots (the vines are at least 15 years old), giving this wine a beautiful varietal expression. This elegant wine of great finesse is the pure expression of the 2024 vintage. The nose reveals aromas of almond blossom, lilac and honeysuckle, sublimated by notes of fresh pineapple. On the palate, the wine is powerful, with intense aromas and saline freshness.

The plots selected to create Le Renouveau cuvée are located on the Meyeau terroir. At the bottom of the foothills, these plots are richer in clay. Therefore, they have a strong capacity to capture water and release it to the vines.
La Meyeau’ plots are ideally exposed, and their openness to the Gayère valley means that they are kept clean by the Mistral wind. The grapes from this terroir reach optimum ripeness without difficulty and are perfectly healthy.
Situated to the south of Cairanne village, this terroir is made up of colluvium such as pebbles, limestone gravel and grey and yellow marl dating from the Quaternary period.
HARVESTING & VINIFICATION
To preserve the aromas of these grape varieties, the grapes are picked at dawn, by machine, starting at 5am.
Harvest date
Roussanne: 16 September
Clairette: 7 October
Viognier: 2 September
White Grenache: 26 September
Temperature of grapes at reception
15°C
The grapes go into a vibrating hopper to preserve the integrity of the berries. They are then directly pressed in an axially fed, closed cage pneumatic press. Only the core of the press wine is retained from 0.6 bars, it’s the most aromatic and expressive of the press juices!
The juice is cold settled at 12°C to retain only the fine lees. It is then seeded with selected yeasts and fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats at 14 – 18°C with macro-oxygenation throughout. We preserve the natural levels of malic acid by blocking malolactic fermentation. The lees are stirred into suspension before the wine is racked and then aged on fine lees.
It is then matured in stainless steel vats on fine lees for four months. The wine was bottled on 18 March 2025.
ENJOYING IT AT ITS BEST
Le Renouveau White 2024 can be enjoyed immediately or be cellared for up to 4 years.
The ideal serving temperature is 12°C. Elegant and fresh, this wine finds perfect harmony alongside aged tomme de brebis, a delicate scallop carpaccio with citrus accents, and a creamy lemon risotto that highlights its bright, saline finish.
