Good to Know: Domaine Les Alexandrins is a Northern Rhône estate founded in 2009 by viticulturist Alexandre Caso and winemaker Guillaume Sorrel, later joined by Nicolas Jaboulet in 2015. Together, they focus on producing terroir-driven wines from 12 hectares of old-vine Syrah in Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, some of which are over 70 years old. The vineyards are farmed sustainably, and the winemaking follows traditional methods—hand harvesting, cold maceration, gentle extraction, and ageing in used barrels—to preserve purity and elegance. Their wines, particularly the Crozes-Hermitage, are known for their finesse, vibrant fruit, and refined structure, reflecting the combined heritage and expertise of three Rhône wine families.

Les Alexandrins Côte-Rôtie 2022 is a refined expression of Syrah, with a touch of Viognier, sourced from the steep granite terraces of Côte Blonde and Coteau de Tupin in Ampuis. Despite the challenges of the 2022 vintage—including heatwaves and mildew—the team harvested early in the morning to preserve freshness and balance. The wine underwent a 20-day fermentation with gentle extraction techniques, followed by 15 months of ageing in one-year-old barrels and demi-muids to enhance complexity and finesse.
It reveals elegant aromas of violet, black fruit, spice, smoke, and licorice, while the palate is silky and vibrant, showing layers of cherry, black raspberry, pepper, and a subtle smokiness. Structured yet graceful, this wine captures the essence of its prestigious terroir and is ideal for pairing with lamb, game, or aged cheeses.
