Anyone heard of Martin Texier wines?

[Jay Miller]

Any relation to Eric?

A local natural wine themed restaurant has a number of these wines and I had never heard of them before. They were all Rhones.

Jay, unless you've seen the labels, it seems possible (likely?) that the restaurant has a typo in their presentation.

Was going to say, sounds like a typo for Martin Texier.

Like taxes, the Texiers multiply.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

I thought France had laws about that?

 

[Jay Miller]

oops, probably was Martin, not Michael. but I haven't heard anything about them either. Enlighten me?

I believe one of Martin's potential vineyards was the source of a somewhat infamous post round these parts...

 

[Jay Miller]

So if I wasn't totally hopeless google would have answered my questions. I fixed the title.

Thank you Robert!

I've heard of Martin Texier. What was the question?

 

[Marc Hanes]

Had Martin's 2015 Grenache "L’indigène" which was simple and pleasurable but I know Grenache is not for you. His 2016 Côtes du Rhône Brézème was a step up and I put a bottle in the cellar to check in on it down the road. I have a bottle of his 2016 Carignan "La Boutanche" in the queue. Tasted a few more wines at Big Glou. Overall wines are good and fairly priced and I'd buy a bottle to try if I see them at retail.

 

[Brézème]

If you can find it, try the 2016 Cinsault. My whole allocation of 3 bottles last 2'18" on last 14th of July.
