Viognier `Le Cabanon` Maison Les Alexandrins 2023

Description

Maison & Domaines 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 ‘micro-négociant’ stemmed from a long-standing friendship, a shared love of gastronomy and an aim to create wines that represent the best of their appellations. Now 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, whereas the fruit for the Domaine Les Alexandrins wines comes entirely from estate-owned vineyards in Saint Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The Cabanon wines act as an excellent introduction to the Northern Rhône.

The Cabanon Viognier is 100% Viognier sourced from vineyards planted at altitude in the mountainous part of the Ardèche. It has lively aromas of white peach and ginger, tempered by lively acidity.
