The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Nicolas Jaboulet created "Maison & Domaines Les Alexandrins" in 2009 with Guillaume Sorrel and Alexandre Caso. Their common knowledge of Rhone Valley wines, their family ties, and an unwavering passion for the region's wines have led them to formulate great wines in the northern appellations, notably Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph.
Wine Delicate and fruity, the 2021 red Crozes-Hermitage is of great elegance and immediately accessible. We salute its perfect balance between the delicacy of its fruity and floral aromas, the freshness of its structure and its smooth and velvety tannins. A wine full of finesse, both fresh and elegant, to be enjoyed now or over the next 5 years.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged in truncated cone-shaped vats and demi-muids for 10 months.
