Texier's medium-bodied White from his St-Julien-en-St-Alban vineyard. Fresh apple, apricot, wild herbs, and hay are all brought out from the unheralded Clairette grape.

Herby and bright red fruit from Grenache/Cinsault aromatized with peachy viogner and refreshed with clairette, tied off with swiss-loving chasselas. That's a serious fruit basket.

Texier's home vineyard on limestone produces excellent Syrah with pepper and cherry aromas. A wine that was almost forgotten to history.

Texier makes this wine, from a vineyard on granite across the Rhone river, in the same method as his Brézème cuvee: whole cluster fermentation, age in concrete tanks, and a light extraction from the skins.
