Châteauneuf-du-Pape is undoubtedly the greatest terroir for white wines in the Rhône Valley. A warm, full-flavored wine in its early years, it evolves into a noble, oriental profile featuring notes of pine nuts, turpentine, and honey. It pairs wonderfully with Provençal cuisine as well as with more unconventional culinary styles.

Eric Texier
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.
