Brézème and a diverse Rhône
Brézème is a confidential gem nestled on the slopes of Livron-sur-Drôme, at the confluence of the Drôme and the Rhône. This rare terroir is shaped by marked relief, plateaus and steep hillsides, and benefits from a singular microclimate between cool winds coming from the Alps and the first Mediterranean influences. A precious balance that defines the identity of its wines.
Long renowned, then almost lost, the Brézème vineyard is now reclaiming its distinctive place in the Rhône landscape. For Lombard, being rooted here is about more than geography: it means helping to bring a rare and singular vineyard back to life, with respect, ambition and a long-term vision.
Planted mainly to Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne, Brézème produces subtle wines. The reds reveal fine, silky tannins, always carried by a characteristic freshness. The whites, generous and fruit-driven, offer beautiful mineral tension. Rare and distinctive wines, true to the identity of this confidential appellation.
If Brézème is its heart, Lombard also embraces a broader vision of the Rhône Valley. Through its wines and cuvées created in collaboration with committed winegrowers, the estate composes the portrait of a diverse Rhône: a mosaic of terroirs, appellations and expressions, between whites and reds, single-varietals and blends.
“At the heart of our approach is bringing Brézème, a rare and singular vineyard, back to life.”
Through Brézème and beyond, Lombard upholds a simple conviction: a wine always tells more than a grape variety or an appellation. It tells of a place, a light, a geography, a memory. To explore this diverse Rhône is to understand that diversity is not dispersion, but richness. A way of embracing the valley in all its nuance.
