Eric Texier came to wine from nuclear engineering, with no family background in viticulture. His self-taught approach led him to revive nearly extinct regions—Brézème was virtually unknown before his work there. This small pocket on the left bank of the Rhône, between Valence and Montélimar, grows Syrah on limestone marl hillsides but lacks its own appellation. Vieille Serine refers to pre-clonal Syrah varieties from vines over 70 years old—"Serine" being the oldest form of the grape. Texier's winemaking is radically traditional: whole-cluster fermentation, indigenous yeasts, no sulfur until bottling, and extended aging of 36-48 months in large foudres on fine lees with no fining or filtration. The 2019 Rhône vintage was powerful but vibrant, with fruit concentration but no jamminess. Red fruits, blackcurrant leaves, and olive notes emerge from this boundary-pushing wine.

More about Eric Texier

Bordeaux-born Éric Texier was a nuclear engineer before the wine bug bit. With no family vines, he learned by tasting, travelling and working with Jean-Marie Guffens at Verget, then found his place in Brézème, a tiny, once-celebrated corner of the northern Côtes du Rhône that he helped bring back to life, later adding Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban across the river. Organic farming, cover crops, old-school minimalist cellar work. Syrah and Roussanne with real soul.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What 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 indigneous yeasts and no sulfur in wooden vats with an 8-10-day maceration; no extraction technqiues, 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.
