Brézème from Éric Texier is made from his younger vines in this fine limestone terroir, with the vines ranging from twenty to forty years of age. The wine is fermented whole cluster, with indigenous yeasts and raised in cement vats for at least a year and a half prior to bottling. The wine delivers superb aromatics in its constellation of black raspberry, grilled venison, , pepper, woodsmoke, black tea, a hint of spice and a beautiful base of limestone minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely meaty in personality, with a good core, excellent mineral undertow and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This is excellent juice.
