Description
White Wine by Eric Texier from Cotes du Rhone, France – Rhone. Brezeme is a small viticultural area 18 kilometers south of Valence. Like Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage, Brezeme sits on the eastern side of the Rhone but in the Ardeche, a less celebrated but increasingly, thanks to Texier, a quality-driven growing area which includes many old vines. The soils are notably rich in limestone. His parcel of Roussanne is a southwest-facing clos, a true walled vineyard, with the biodynamically-farmed vines averaging 25 years old. For the Brezeme Cotes-du-Rhone, Eric uses the youngest of them, planted in 2009. The fruit is hand-harvested and fermented as whole clusters with native yeasts in concrete tanks; the wine is also aged in concrete tank and bottled with only 30mg/liter of sulfur at bottling.
