Eric Texier Cotes-du-Rhone Rouge Saint Julien-en-St. Alban Vieille Serine 2015 (1.5L) 2025 L'Assemblage Part 1 mineral side of Pierre Duroché'sSyrah vines over 70 years oldcalled "serine" by localsgive this wine its name and soul. Whole cluster macerated for eight to ten days, fermented with indigenous yeasts in wooden tanks, then aged 36 48 months in large foudres without fining or filtration. A wine of transparency and tension, this is Eric Texier's revivalist testament to nearly forgotten Rhne terroir, drinking beautifully after a decade of age. In magnum for optimal evolution.
