Eric Texier Brezeme Blanc Roussanne 2023

100% Roussanne

 Texier old-vine cuttings, facing south on the Brézème slope on limestone marl soils. The farming is certified-organic and harvest is manual. Whole-cluster press with spontaneous fermentation and no sulfur in cement tanks; aging of 6-8 months on fine lees in cement; bottled without fining or filtration and with a very small amount of sulfur.  On the nose you'll find notes of white peach, apricot, honeysuckle, and citrus zest, complemented by subtle hints of almond and yeast.  Moderately weighted, silky mouthfeel that is simultaneously rich and lively, showcasing flavors of stone fruit, herbal accents, and a distinctive chalky minerality from the region's limestone-marl soils.  14% ABV
