ALAIN VOGE
Northern Rhone (France)
Since its inception, several generations ago, Domaine Alain Voge has always been a family domain located in Cornas. In 1958, Alain Voge joined his father to work on the small typical farm and decided to specialise in wine. At the time, it was an audacious decision: despite their history, the Cornas and Saint Peray appellations were forgotten sleeping beauties. Very quickly, he extended the vineyards in places which had remained uncultivated over the last 30 years and developed the sales of his bottled wines. Supported by his wife Eliane, he visited the best national and regional restaurants to make his wines known. Thanks to their quality and to Alain Voge’s creative approach, the domain’s reputation has rapidly increased. Yesterday, as today and tomorrow, the philosophy is to practice a hand made viticulture on the slopes of the Rhône right bank, dedicated to Syrah and Marsanne. Their wines are the expression of their terroir, for the pleasure of lovers, all over the world.

Saint-Péray Harmonie 2022
TASTING NOTE
Wine Spectator, “More savory than fruit-driven, this shows earth, briny mineral
and subtle toast notes surrounding a layer of yellow apple and persimmon. Round
and creamy, with subtle reductive elements and grassy green herbs, building in
mineral intensity toward the silky, persistent finish. Drink now through 2027.

Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines 2020
TASTING NOTE
In the locality named “La Fontaine” is a spring that used to supply water to the
home of a noble family in Cornas. The wine named Les Vieilles Fontaines was first
made by Alain Voge in 1988 on this superb granite terroir, enhanced by our oldest
Syrah vines. Produced only in exceptional vintages, Les Vieilles Fontaines clearly
shows the strong character of Cornas and the ethos of our work. The most recent
vintages produced are 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2015. The 2010 vintage received a
rating of 100/100 from Robert Parker-The Wine Advocate: a first for a Cornas wine.
