Our Review of the Cuvée

A wine that embodies the full richness of the Mediterranean through its sunny character, notes of ripe fruit and spices, enhanced by intense aromas of garrigue. On the palate, balance is achieved through the finesse of the tannins and the power of the Grenache from old vines, offering structure and depth, with significant aging potential. It is a harmonious, intense, and distinctive wine, perfect for pairing with game or roasted meats.

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.
