Domaine Alain Voge
Domaine Alain Voge is a family estate in the Northern Rhone. In 1958 Alan joined his father’s small farm and began specialising in wine. He tirelessly restored land in Cornas and Saint Peray that used to make great wine decades before. Using biodynamic practices they make traditional styled wine with real gravitas. We were saddened to learn that Alain Voge passed away on Wednesday 2nd September 2020. As such a towering figure in the history of Cornas, Alain is irreplaceable and will be hugely missed. But we are confident that the team at Domaine Alain Voge will honour his memory with a continuation of his incredible work.

Wine Advocate (96)Only produced in top vintages (this is the first since 2012), the 2015 Cornas Vieilles Fontaines comes from 80-year-old vines within the La Fontaine lieu-dit. It's a tough wine to evaluate at this stage, as it's quite closed and reticent on the nose, showing some crushed-stone notes and typical granite-based austerity, but on the palate it shows great purity of fruit and vigor. It's full-bodied but tight-laced, focused on driving through the long finish like a thoroughbred down the stretch. Give it at least 5 years in the cellar. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)Lieux-dits Mazard and La Côte, 80% destemmed, aged in barriques for 20 months, 15% new. A touch of oak influence on the nose brings some further complexity here. It also serves to temper the tannins a little and round off the coarser edges. This is nonetheless robust in texture, and very long, but the fruit is perfectly ripe and savoury. Classic stuff, in a traditional mould. |
