{"title":"La Boutanche Martin Texier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/la-boutanche-martin-texier\"\u003eLa Boutanche Martin Texier producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-boutanche-rouge-texier-grenache-cinsault-loire-france-natural-wine","title":"'La Boutanche' Rouge 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Boutanche Rouge is a Cinsault-dominant blend from Martin Texier's 5-hectare certified organic estate in Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban, a village in the Ardèche on the right bank of the Rhône. The vineyards sit over a mosaic of granite, gneiss, schist, clay, and limestone soils. Grapes are harvested by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in concrete tanks. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfur.
