2020 Eric Texier Le Clau Rouge

Le Clau is a contrarian wine from Eric Texier, crafted from a handful of rows totaling 0.5 hectares of very old vines planted in the 1930s in the Masson parcel of Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban at the lieu-dit Le Clau. The wine is made from an extremely rare old clone of Syrah called Serine, whose exact identity remains uncertain and may represent a distinct variety altogether. The wine is notable for its distinct ampelographic qualities and low alcoholic degrees at full maturity, offering unique characteristics with a through-line of electricity and freshness. Bottled by hand by the Texier family.
