La Boutanche Martin Texier

Martin Texier's path to winemaking was anything but direct. After studying economics and spending time as a DJ, he landed internships at Uva Wines in Brooklyn and Flatiron Wines in Manhattan and a formative stretch at A1 Records on 18th Street. At some point the pull of the vine became undeniable, and in 2014 he returned to the northern Rhône to farm his own land. His father is Eric Texier, one of the region's most respected natural producers. Martin has built something that carries a family resemblance but has its own clear identity.

Martin established his domaine in 2014 in Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban, a village in the Ardèche just south of the classic northern Rhône appellations. He works 5 hectares in and around the commune, farming organically with an approach he describes as somewhere between biodynamic and regenerative agriculture. The La Boutanche collaboration with Selection Massale came early in his career and helped introduce his wines to a wider American audience through the accessible 1-litre format.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our La Boutanche Martin Texier producer profile.
