Tasting notes
Saint-Péray Fleur de Crussol delivers impressive depth, richness, and complexity, with expressive aromas and flavors of stone fruits, marmalade, and warm spice. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a generous mid-palate and a striking sense of purity and precision. While already compelling, this cuvée consistently benefits from a few years of bottle age to fully reveal its remarkable potential. Undoubtedly one of the standout wines of the vintage.
About the Winery
Domaine Voge is located in Cornas, in the Rhone Valley. It is one of the most renowned estate of the designation. Voge estate was created by Henri Voge (Alain's grandfather). Alain's father died prematurely, that's why in 1965 he took over after his grandfather and developed bottling for the estate's wines (that used to be directly sold to the trade). The Alain Voge estate owns many great vineyards that are mostly located on the hillsides, and that covers 13 Ha, all in all, including 7 Ha of Rhone red (100% Syrah) in Cornas, 1 Ha in St Joseph, and 5 Ha of 100% white Marsanne located in Saint Peray Protected Designation of Origin. The biodynamic conversion of the estate started in 2006. It was fully achieved in 2013. With many old vines plots, the Alain Voge estate gets quality grapes to create different cuvees, among the wide range that they produce. In the Saint Peray Protected Designation of Origin, the Harmony, Ongrie, and Fleur de Crussol cuvees are produced. Fleur de Crussol is the most successful one (made from 70-year old vines).
