Châteauneuf-du-Pape is undoubtedly the greatest white wine terroir in the Rhône Valley. A warm and flavorful wine in its early years, it then evolves into a noble, oriental character with notes of pine nuts, turpentine, and honey. A fascinating pairing with Provençal cuisine and even with more unconventional dishes.

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.
