Côtes du Rhône Brézème | Rouge | 2023

Le Brézème, made from Syrah grown in a cool climate, reveals a wild and assertive character. This wine stands out for its intense notes of blackcurrant and black olives. Vinified with whole clusters, it ferments using native yeasts and rests on fine lees in concrete tanks for 18 to 24 months, with no added sulfur. Its structure evolves over time, softening elegantly. Ideal when young with rustic dishes, it gains nuance with age, making it perfect for more complex dishes.

Our Review of the Cuvée

Even in the glass, the Brézème captivates with its dark, opaque purple hue. The nose offers a symphony of aromas: black olive, pencil lead, and black pepper, all complemented by hints of violet and smoke. On the palate, it is an unforgettable experience: a deep texture, supported by racy, intense fruit, where pepper and smoke blend harmoniously. The finish, rich in ripe tannins, evokes blackberry, cocoa, and a subtle hint of smoked bacon, ensuring a remarkable and energetic persistence.

Rhône Valley | France

Texier has brought Brézème back into the spotlight, revealing the potential of this forgotten hillside in the Rhône Valley. His Syrahs exhibit a distinct northern character: violet, pepper, crisp acidity, and tight tannins. The long aging process with minimal oak aging lends depth without artifice. The Poulsard and other experimental wines reflect the estate’s curious spirit: always seeking the terroir’s authenticity rather than sheer power. An almost Burgundian approach to the Rhône Valley.
