“I became a vigneron, in the almost forgotten vineyard area of Brézème (Northern Rhone). My goals and methodology were born through reading, visits to traditional winemakers and sustainable farms around the world. My winemaking is very old school and very minimalist and my main concern as a vigneron is the soil.”
Eric Texier is based in Brézème, north of the Rhone Valley. Eric first worked in nuclear technology before devoting himself entirely to the world of wine in the early 1990s. He practices viticulture and enology in a minimalistic way, with particular emphasis on the management of the soil of his vineyards.
The vineyards of Eric Texier Adele are between 5 and 40 years old and are planted on clay and limestone soils with quartz and granite stones.
Once the panicles of Eric Texier Adele arrive at the winery, they are pressed as a whole and then fermented in cement tanks. After its elaboration, the wine is aged for about eight months on its fine wine lees. During the process, no sulfites are added to it.
