Maison Les Alexandrins Saint-Joseph Rouge 0.75 2021

Region : Northern Rhone       The terroir in Saint Joseph is mainly composed of granite. The vineyard spreads out 40km along the right bank of the Rhône river. Since our first vintage in 2007, we look for a balanced wine using grapes from the north of the appellation, which bring minerality and fruit, and ones from the historical centre of Saint Joseph that give more flesh to the wine. The blending makes wines with great distinction and extremely balanced.         Grape varieties : Syrah       Tasting notes :      Attractive deep black dress with ruby-red reflections. The very complex nose offers a magnificent bouquet of aromas like stewed candied fruit, spices, almonds, red fruit such as cherries and a delicate vanilla notes. The palate is powerful with melted tannins before evolving into a delicate freshness with notes of vanilla and toast, candied fruit, spices and pepper, typical of Syrah. The finish is very straightforward and ends with a nice bitterness with great length. A very elegant wine, full of potential. Perfect match for grilled meats or small game.
