Maison les Alexandrins

Hermitage

White 2019

A perfect balance between the two grape varieties – Marsanne and Roussanne –, this wine boasts a fine mineral signature. Delicate from start to finish.

Soils composed of loess and limestone

Serve between 12°C and 14°C. Can be opened today. Its dried fruit flavours come through after it has been laid down for a few years.

This wine will go wonderfully with Bresse poultry with morels.

After a mild winter and spring, conditions were perfect when everything changed on June 15th: a hailstorm destroyed a large part of the Crozes-Hermitage vines. Then we experienced a heatwave in the summer, one of the hottest of the decade, which caused some berries to burn. Our team’s efforts paid back fortunately and we managed to save part of the vineyard in great sanitary condition. And if Nature is sometimes harsh, it can also be generous. The harvest went perfectly well and although the quantities are limited, this vintage promises to be magnificent, despite a climatically and morally complicated year. The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception.

Our grapes come from vines planted in the localities of Rocoule and Maison Blanche, where the loess and chalky soils are ideal for white wines.

- Vinified in barrels.
- Aged in barrels for 12 months.

Pretty golden colour with shiny reflections. The nose shows delicacy with a nice minerality with aromas of peach, white flowers and a hint of exotic fruit. Its fresh and velvety mouth offers notes of white flowers, lemons evolving towards notes of brioche and toast. Nice length, very straight, a wine with finesse.
