Maison Les Alexandrins for Nicolas Perrin brings together the scions of two of the great families of the Rhône, Nicolas Jaboulet, formerly of the eponymous winery in Tain, and the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel. This joint venture micro-négociant was created in 2009 with the sole aim of producing top quality Northern Rhône wines. Nicolas is able to source the best fruit and wines from growers and producers that he has formed a long standing relationship with, while the Perrin family bring expertise in winemaking and blending, as well as the use of their cellars. The partnership stems from a long standing friendship, a shared love of gastronomy and a philosophy to create wines that represent the best of their appellation.
Tasting Notes: Bright white with green reflections. Beautiful bouquet of fresh fruit (green apple and citrus fruit), white flowers and exotic fruit, along with delicate notes of ageing in oak. The mouth is supple and balanced with a lot of freshness and a very aromatic finish (floral and candied fruits). Drink young as an aperitif with prawns.
