The 2022 vintage will be remembered as a successful year with ideal climatic conditions. The summer months were particularly warm and dry, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly and without excessive disease pressure. The harvest started on August 17th, early enough to preserve the natural freshness and balance in the grapes.

Winemaker

Maison Les Alexandrins was established by Nicolas Jaboulet, formerly of the eponymous winery in Tain, the Perrin family from Château de Beaucastel, winemaker Guillaume Sorrel and viticulturalist Alexandre Caso in 2015. The partnership of this ‘micronégociant’ stemmed from a long-standing friendship, a shared love of gastronomy and an aim to create wines that represent the best of their appellations. Today, run solely by Nicolas, Alexandre and winemaker Benoît Busseuil, Maison Les Alexandrins is the négociant side of the business and these wines incorporate fruit purchased from a selection of the top growers in each appellation of the Northern Rhône.

 

Tasting Notes:

The 2022 vintage offers complex aromas of stone fruit, spices and candied peel. On the palate, the wine is full bodied with a delicate balance of Roussanne’s acidity and finesse and Marsanne’s opulence and rich texture.

Serving Suggestions: Serve between 7°C and 12°C.
