Côtes du Rhône Rouge Brézème "Vigne de la Carrière" 2020 | Wine from Domaine Eric Texier

The Domaine, located in the northern Rhône, is managed by Eric Texier, a former nuclear engineer who became a winemaker in the early 1990s. The estate covers only 22 hectares, a rare terroir due to the devastation caused by phylloxera. Eric Texier favors organic viticulture and a minimalist approach to winemaking, emphasizing the intrinsic qualities of the soils and grapes. His Syrah vines, aged 15 to 25 years, are planted on clay soils with southern exposure, ensuring wines with a strong identity.

The Côtes du Rhône Rouge Brézème "Vigne de la Carrière" 2020 is a red wine made from 100% Syrah, sourced from organic and vegan vineyards.

Little sulfur is used, making it a natural wine that fully expresses the Brézème terroir.
