| Description: | CĂ´tes-du-RhĂ´ne Rouge St. Julien-en-St.Alban 2019 Texier, Ăric France RhĂ´ne 100% Syrah. From Texier's younger (20-40-year-old) vines, planted on a south-facing slope on granite soils in the warm St-Julien-en-St-Alban zone (in the Ardèche on the northern bank of the Ouvèze--to the west of the RhĂ´ne River, at the southern edge of the northern RhĂ´ne Valley). They are organically farmed and harvested by hand. The vinification and aging are identical to Texier's BrĂŠzème bottling and thus purely expressive of the much warmer, sunnier microclimate and granite-rich St. Julien terroir: whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts in open concrete tanks with no sulfur and a 6-8-day maceration; no extraction techniques (only a submerged cap for gentle infusion of color and flavor); aging in concrete tanks on the fine lees for 18-24 months with no racking; bottling is without fining or filtration and with only a minute dose of sulfur. |
