Maison Les Alexandrins, Saint-Joseph (Rhône Valley, France) 2016

Sep 17, 2019

By Michael Franz

 This is a new house that makes some solid entry-level wines from purchased fruit and a few truly exceptional ones from estate-owned vines…Domaine designated, as in this case.  I shows plenty of concentration and depth of flavor, but even more notable is its supremely silky texture, purity of fruit, masterful integration of oak and general classiness.  Very impressive, but without trying too hard, this is excellent.
