Brezême
Côtes du Rhône Brézème | Red | 2023
Brézème, made from cool-climate Syrah, reveals a wild and assertive character. This wine is distinguished by its intense notes of blackcurrant and black olives. Vinified with whole bunches, it ferments with indigenous yeasts and rests on its fine lees in concrete tanks for 18 to 24 months, without the addition of sulfur. Its structure evolves over time, softening elegantly. Ideal young with rustic dishes, it gains nuance with age, perfect for more complex recipes.

Eric Texier
Texier has brought Brézème back into the spotlight, revealing the potential of this forgotten hillside in the Rhône Valley. His Syrahs take on a distinctly northern character: violet, pepper, acidic freshness, and firm tannins. Long, lightly oaked aging adds depth without artifice. The Poulsards and other experimental wines reflect the estate's inquisitive spirit: always seeking the coherence of the terroir rather than sheer power. An almost Burgundian approach to the Rhône Valley.
