Éric Texier Brézème Roussanne is a white wine produced by Éric Texier, a renowned winemaker known for his natural and organic approach to winemaking. The wine comes from the Brézème appellation in the northern Rhône region of France, which is known for its steep slopes and granite soils. The vineyards are farmed using sustainable methods and the grapes are hand-harvested. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in concrete vessels and aging on the lees. The result is a complex and elegant wine with notes of white flowers, honey, and citrus, and a rich and creamy texture. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
