Texier<\/a>, Chat Fou is a playful cuv\u00e9e composed of Syrah (45%) Cincault (30%) and white varieties (Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne 15%). The wine is light ruby in colour. On the nose, we taste fresh fruitiness of red berries. On the palate, the wine is light, fruity, joyful and presentably long. There is a delicate spice component. A red that can brighten up any day, no matter how hot or cold.<\/p>\n

The wine comes from vineyards aged around 20 years in the Br\u00e9z\u00e8me area, located on the left bank of the Rhone, on the southern edge of the northern part of the province. Vinification takes place in open concrete vats. The partially de-stemmed, slightly crushed grapes ferment spontaneously and macerate for 6-8 days. Wine is then aged for 12-18 months in concrete tanks. Bottled without filtration and fining. Sulfites are added in minimum quantity when needed.<\/p>\n

His path<\/h5>\n

Eric Texier traded in his career as a nuclear physics engineer for a career as a viticulturist – winemaker – more than two decades ago. Today, he cultivates around 12 hectares of vineyards in two locations in the northern Rh\u00f4ne: Br\u00e9z\u00e8me, with a predominantly limestone soil structure on the left, and Ard\u00e8che, on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne, with a subsoil of granite, flints and gneiss, which are historically important appellations in the region, but have always been somewhat neglected due to their small size.<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
Working in vineyards and wineries<\/h5>\n

All work in vineyards is aimed at preserving biodiversity and thus maintaining balance. The varieties produced are syrah, serine, grenache, cinsault, roussanne and clairette. In addition to wines from his own vineyards, Eric also produces red and white Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape each year, buying grapes from his winemaker friend of a similar philosophy. The minimalist approach continues in the cellar.<\/p>\n

Red grapes are not, or only partially, de-stemmed. Macerations are relatively short and rarely exceed 8 days. Fermentations are spontaneous and take place in open concrete or wooden vats. The wines are mostly aged (6-48 months) in concrete tanks, with some in large used barrels. There is no filtration and fining before bottling, and a modest addition of sulphur is possible but not essential. Texier wines are undoubtedly one of those that reflect the varieties and micro-locations of the vineyards much more than the influence of the winemaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Philippe Viret farms using a method that is biodynamic in principle, but which he calls “Cosmoculture”. No sulphur is added to the wines. Aromas of dark fruit, ripe plum, minerality, slightly spicy, which is even more evident on the palate, where blackberry joins in. Tannins are expressed and acids are consistent. A full, warm body. A ripe red apple with a nice long aftertaste. Exceptional freshness, despite the high alcohol. A great price for Valico amphora wine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[500,779,544,499,795,531,636,573,505],"product_tag":[811,809,638,782,841],"class_list":["post-3259","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-country","product_cat-eric-texier-en","product_cat-france","product_cat-natural-wines","product_cat-north-rhone","product_cat-red","product_cat-syrah-en","product_cat-variety","product_cat-winegrower","product_tag-birch-trees","product_tag-north-rhone","product_tag-syrah-en","product_tag-texier-en","product_tag-vieille-serine-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\ntexier chat fou syrah<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Texier Chat Fou is a playful syrah, cincault and white variety.
