Maison Les Alexandrins, Terrasses de l'Eridan Blanc, Côtes du Rhône, Rhône, France, 2017
Overview of the Wine
Maison & Domaine Les Alexandrins is the story of three friends combining the savoir-faire they learn from their parents and grandparents and the fruits from beautiful and historic terroirs. Nicolas Jaboulet, the 6th generation of a wine growing family in Tain l’Hermitage, Guillaume Sorrel, son of Marc Sorrel of Domaine Sorrel in Hermitage, and Alexandre Caso, a specialist in the terroirs of the Northern Rhône, joined forces in 2012. They began working parcel by parcel in Crozes-Hermitage for the wines of Maison Nicolas Perrin. In 2015, the name was changed to Domaine et Maison Les Alexandrins. Today, Maison and Domaine Les Alexandrins produces Northern Rhône wines that are true and classic expressions of the Northern Rhône.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Very pretty pale yellow color with golden highlights. The nose is full of freshness, with notes of pear and quince underlined by a touch of citrus. On the palate, it has a nice balance that combines freshness and roundness, with notes of white fruit and a long aromatic finish.
Serve with delicate or spicy (saffron) dishes, grilled fish, bouillabaisse.
