Q

Brézème

A

un vin français produit sur les coteaux au-dessus de Livron-sur-Drôme, dominant la vallée de la Drôme

le plus petit vignoble de la rive gauche du Rhône

la syrah vieillie en fût (nm. barrel)

Elle donne un vin à la robe pourpre et brillante qui dégage des arômes où se retrouvent les petits fruits (berries) rouges (fraise des bois, framboise) et qui évolueront vers des touches (nmpl. keys) de sous-bois (undergrowth) et de venaison (venison) au fil des années.
