Notes from Louis Dressner Selections:

"A Bordeaux native who has lived in or around Lyon since 1979, Eric is a jovial, energetic and fun-loving person who wants his wines to make their drinkers happy. But he is also a boundary pusher, endlessly questioning his own work (and let's be honest, the work of others) for the sake of moving viticulture and winemaking forward.

Eric is a trailblazer, having put the all but extinct regions of Brézème and Saint Julien en Sain Alban on the map. He experiments with concepts you rarely if ever hear about elsewhere: finding acidity in Marsanne through anforas, not working the soil in favor of  cover crops "infusion" style macerations, working on his own grafts, rediscovering forgotten grapes adaptable to the very real threat of climate change..."
