Martin Texier

Free heir of the natural Rhône

From New York to Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban

Martin Texier, son of winemaker Éric Texier , embodies the new generation of natural wine in the Rhône Valley . After studying economics and working as a sommelier in New York, he returned to his roots and settled in Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban , where he took over vines on granite and clay-limestone soils .

A living viticulture, without artifice

Syrah, Grenache, Roussanne and respect for life

He mainly works with the region's emblematic grape varieties such as Syrah , Grenache , Carignan and Roussanne , adopting an entirely natural approach: cultivation without chemical inputs, manual harvesting, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in concrete vats or barrels, without filtration or sulfiting.

Fresh, clean and deeply expressive wines

Short macerations, minimal extraction

His wines are distinguished by their freshness, drinkability, and great aromatic purity, far from overly extracted styles. Martin favors gentle vinifications, with short macerations and minimal extraction, in order to preserve the finesse of the fruit and the vitality of the terroir.

A sincere expression of the Rhône

Each vintage expresses a lively and sincere approach to the Rhône vineyard , offering juicy reds, luminous whites and an energy that immediately seduces.
