From nuclear engineering to 70-plus year-old vines: Eric Texier abandoned predictability for Serine, an ancient pre-clonal Syrah strain few producers dare attempt. Whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeast, then three to four years of aging in foudre on fine lees without disturbance—patience defines this natural wine pioneer's approach. Sourced south of legendary Cornas on granite, this 2019 shows peppery depth, dark fruit, and textural complexity that only time builds.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

100% Syrah. From 70+ year-old vines of an old, pre-clonal variety known as "Serine", planted on a south-facing, limestone marl slope of the Brézème zone (on eastern side of the Rhône River at the southern edge of the northern Rhône Valley). They are organically farmed and harvested by hand. The vinification and aging are identical to Texier's St Julien Serine bottling and thus purely expressive of the cooler, less solar, more limestone-rich Brézème terroir: whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts and no sulfur in wooden vats with an 8-10-day maceration; no extraction techniques, only a submerged cap for a gentle infusion of color and flavor; aging in foudres for 36-48 months on the fine lees without racking; bottling without fining or filtration and generally no sulfur.
