Brézème Roussanne 2024
Côtes du Rhône Brézème | White | 2024
The Roussanne grapes from Brézème, grown on a south-facing slope of limestone marl, reveal their distinctive character through meticulous winemaking. After direct vertical pressing, the grape must undergoes natural cold settling, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. Aging on the lees for 6 to 8 months enriches the wine's structure, with no added sulfur until bottling, thus preserving the authenticity of the terroir.

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.
