{"title":"Martin Texier","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartin Texier was not handed a winery. He studied economics, spent time as a DJ, and worked stints in New York at Uva Wines and Flatiron Wines before returning to the Rhône to make wine of his own. The fact that his father is Éric Texier , one of the northern Rhône's most respected natural producers , gave him a reference point, not a shortcut. Martin released his first vintage in 2014 from Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban, a village in the Ardèche department of the northern Rhône that most wine drinkers have never heard of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban sits on the western bank of the Rhône in the Ardèche, within the historic Brézème zone and surrounded by the Cévennes foothills. The geology here is genuinely complex: clay, limestone, gneiss, marl, schist, and granite all appear within Martin's five hectares, giving him raw material for a wide range of styles within a small footprint. The area is removed from the glamour of Côte-Rôtie or Hermitage, which suits Martin's ethos of reviving local traditions rather than chasing recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/martin-texier\"\u003eMartin Texier producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-boutanche-cinsault-martin-texier-natural-wine","title":"Martin Texier La Boutanche Cinsault NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartin Texier La Boutanche Cinsault NV.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Texier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122710253784,"sku":"BOUTCINS20C","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/la-boutanche-gorilla-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185248"},{"product_id":"martin-texier-cerouan-natural-wine","title":"Martin Texier Cérouan Syrah 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartin Texier Cérouan 2023 is a Vin de France red wine produced by Martin Texier from Syrah grapes grown in the La Clau vineyard in Saint-Julien-en-Saint-Alban, in the northern Rhône.
