2020 Eric Texier Les Chailles Blanc

Brézème’s vineyards lie on steep, south‐facing limestone marl hillsides with a viticultural history dating back to Roman times and were revived under the guidance of Éric Texier. The white wine—made without added SO₂ and consequently declassified to Vin de France—exemplifies a production approach that emphasizes terroir and structural precision over typical stylistic softness. Notably, its profile departs from the conventional expression of Roussanne by presenting a pronounced acid backbone and minerality that reflect both the saline influences of the soil and the meticulous winemaking techniques employed.
