Maison & Domaines Les Alexandrins
"Domaine & Maison Les Alexandrins" came into being with the collaboration of three figures of the Northern Rhone Valley: Nicolas Jaboulet, 6th generation of a winegrowing family in Tain l’Hermitage since 1834, Guillaume Sorrel, son of Marc Sorrel of Domaine Sorrel in Hermitage, and Alexandre Caso, specialist in the terroirs of the Northern Rhone. They came together in 2012 when Nicolas Jaboulet (head of Maison Nicolas Perrin founded in 2007) and Guillaume Sorrel along with Alexandre Caso (who together founded Domaine Les Alexandrins in Mercurol in 2009) began working parcel by parcel in Crozes-Hermitage for the wines of Maison Nicolas Perrin. Their shared knowledge of the terroir, of the wines that have marked the history of the Northern Rhone Valley, and their appreciation of the great wines of their region quickly inspired them to go even further together.
In 2014, the desire of Alexandre and Guillaume to promote the Domaine Les Alexandrins wines and Nicolas’ ambition to anchor Maison Nicolas Perrin in the heart of the Northern Rhone Valley led the three men to strengthen their cooperation. From 2015, Maison Nicolas Perrin took a majority share in Domaine Les Alexandrins, reflected in the change of name to “Domaine et Maison Les Alexandrins”. Their collaboration made it possible to pursue the dream of Domaine Les Alexandrins – that of making Northern Rhone wines that embody pure classicism – and at the same time transform Maison Nicolas Perrin and Maison Les Alexandrins to expand an offer already long acclaimed for its quality across all the appellations of the Northern Rhone.

Maison Les Alexandrins
The signature is modern in its approach and is contemporary in its style. In this range of wines, the pursuit for perfect harmony from an early ag, dictates the blending and ageing.
With MAISON LES ALEXANDRINS wines, we make Northern Rhône wines in a style that is both contemporary and timeless, as they are always based on exceptional terroirs discovered by Alexandre Caso, specialist in the terroirs of the Northern Rhône Valley.
These wines can be described as “revisited classics”.

Domaine Les Alexandrins
Nicolas Jaboulet, Guillaume Sorrel and Alexandre Caso showcase treasures, very often forgotten vines or old vines on exceptional terroirs, to achieve the best expression of the appellation. In their minds, the estate must produce wines in the pure tradition of Crozes-Hermitage Saint-Joseph appellations.
The work in the vineyard is done in the old-fashioned way, respecting the terroir. Soils are worked in a way to bring biodiversity back to life and give the best to the grapes. Some hundred-year-old vines on our Crozes Hermitage plots withstand time and are still capable of giving their best expression.
Every year, Domaine Les Alexandrins focusses its expertise in viticulture and in the cellars to offer two great classic wines.

Domaine de Bréseyme
Founded in 1999 by the Gresse family, the estate currently cultivates four hectares of «Brézème» Côtes du Rhône and 4.5 hectares of PGI Collines Rhodaniennes. The estate has room for expansion thanks to a 16-hectare land reserve on a steep south-facing hillside of clay-limestone. And while the vines are at the midpoint between the Northern and Southern Rhone, the grape varieties - Syrah for the reds and Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier for the whites - are reminiscent of Northern wines. It’s time to rediscover the delights of Brézème!
