Eric Texier Adèle 2015
Rhone Valley, FranceEric Texier is a leading natural and biodynamic vigneron in the Rhone, renewing and reviving the tiny Brézème appellation in North, as well as acting as négociant for other sites in the Rhone and Maconnais. Adèle is mostly clairette, aided by marsanne, on granitic soils, whole cluster pressed, fermented wild in cement and spends eight months on the lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Subtle and nonchalant, with delicate apricot, apple, pear scenting a palate of stones, quiet anise, wild herbs and hay. The briskly refreshing finish reminds you of the naturalism of this smashable, light/medium bodied wine.Tasted: 14 April 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
