Our Review of the Cuvée

On the nose, this wine reveals an elegant blend of candied raspberry, roses, and violets, with a subtle hint of orange peel. On the palate, it begins with an airy texture, surprisingly light, before blossoming into a fuller, more luscious body. Flavors of fresh plum and orange blend harmoniously with a chalky, slightly peppery finish. Close your eyes, and you can almost feel the soft, floral warmth of its lingering aftertaste, enhanced by notes of bay leaf, bitter orange, and a hint of cocoa. A true sensory exploration with every sip.

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.
