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.
