Type: White Wine (Natural / Organic / Biodynamic / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Rhône Valley, France (Vin de France – Ardèche / Northern Rhône)
Grapes: 95% Clairette, 5% Marsanne
Alcohol ABV: 12.5%
Aroma:
A refined and mineral-driven Rhône white with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, pear, and white peach. Notes of bergamot, white flowers, chamomile, and fresh herbs add elegance, while subtle chalky minerality and a hint of almond create complexity. The Clairette brings freshness and floral character, while Marsanne contributes a rounder texture and gentle richness.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a silky, textured mouthfeel and bright acidity. The palate shows flavours of citrus, pear, apple skin, and stone fruits, balanced by a saline mineral character and delicate herbal bitterness. The finish is long and dry, with notes of lemon peel, tea, and chalky freshness.
The grapes are hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards and pressed as whole clusters. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks, followed by ageing on fine lees for around 6–8 months before bottling. The wine is made with minimal intervention, without fining or filtration, preserving the natural texture and purity of the varieties.
The vines are cultivated organically in the Ardèche region, on south-facing slopes with granite-rich soils mixed with clay, limestone, quartz, and schist elements. Eric Texier focuses on agro-ecological farming, encouraging biodiversity and healthy soils to express the unique character of forgotten Rhône terroirs.
