Maison Les Alexandrins Crozes-Hermitage Blanc
A crisp white wine with honeyed stone fruit, white flowers, and a refreshing saline finish
Maison Les Alexandrins Crozes-Hermitage Blanc from Crozes-Hermitage, France, is a delightful still white wine. This dry blend of Marsanne and Roussanne grapes undergoes fermentation in oak barrels and ageing on lees in both oak and stainless steel, imparting complexity and richness. It offers lifted aromas of honeyed stone fruit, white flowers, apple, and lemon peel with subtle toasted notes. The palate reveals delicate peach and lychee, balanced by refreshing acidity and a saline edge. A versatile choice, it pairs beautifully with poultry, lean fish, or mild cheeses.
