“Domaine Les Alexandrins owns 4 hectares of Saint-Joseph vineyards, on weathered granite “Galets roulés”, vineyards are located in the municipality of Tournon-sur-Rhône. Average age of the vines is 25 years, South/South-East exposure. Manual harvest, traditional vinification, destemming 100%, maceration 3 days cold, two pumpovers and two punch downs a day. Fermentation lasts 20 days, ageing in 1 and 2-years-old barrels for 15 months. A beautiful red color with purple undertones, the nose reveals a complex aromatic bouquet with notes of tapenade, spices and delicate red fruit. Full and well-structured on the palate, it offers powerful aromas similar to the nose, with young tannins. The granite terroir and the cool climate of these vines give it freshness, minerality and astonishing balance. In its youth, this wine will be powerful and ample. Enjoy it with grilled game or in sauce. Tasting temperature 16 to 18°C.” Guillaume Sorrel (Head Winemaker)

“This svelte red is introduced by a rush of cherry, cassis jam and plum sauce, with warm licorice, hot earth and sweet charred cedar chiming in. Features a formidable frame of velvety yet firm tannins and a spine of graphite, which helps build intensity and power through the lengthy, white pepper-dusted finish. Best from 2025 through 2035.” Wine Spectator 93 points
