Taste Block

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with citrus peel, pear skin, and light stone-fruit tones, followed by fennel, dried herbs, and a subtle mineral edge from the granitic sites. On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied,.Flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and gentle herbal notes develop, accompanied by a faint savory element. The finish is fresh and persistent, marked by citrus, light bitter herbal edge.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Clairette in this style pairs naturally with dishes that emphasize freshness, herbs, and moderate richness. Consider preparations that preserve flavors: grilled or poached white fish with lemon, herb-roasted chicken, or pasta with seasonal vegetables and olive oil. It’s best to avoid dishes with intense chili heat, which can amplify Clairette’s slight bitterness, and rich red meats, which tend to overwhelm the wine’s lighter structure.

About the Producer

In the cellar, Texier works with deliberate restraint, following principles influenced by early Rhône traditionalists. Fermentations are spontaneous, and whites and reds alike see minimal intervention. He favors whole-cluster fermentations for Syrah, long macerations without mechanical extraction, and élevage in large, neutral vessels—including foudres and old demi-muids—to preserve subtlety rather than shape style. Sulfur is used sparingly and sometimes omitted entirely at bottling, depending on the cuvée and vintage conditions.
