Éric Texier Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge Brézème "Vieille Serine" (Pergault) 2016

Brézème is a pure Syrah from a cold climate, which gives a very wild wine with a strong personality, presenting notes of blackcurrant leaves and very intense black olives. Far from the very ripe southern Syrah, the wine rather evokes the Burgundian balance. The Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Pergault cuvée generally expresses its full potential after 5 years of aging and evolves towards mineral notes reminiscent of the great northern Syrah.

The Brézème Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Pergault vineyard plot is planted 100% Syrah over 60 years old. It is one of the oldest vineyard plots in the vineyard, at the top of a terraced slope, above the rest of the vineyard.
