Tasting notes
A flagship white from Saint-Péray, this 100% Marsanne is grown on granite soils and aged in oak, revealing aromas of stone fruits, marmalade, toasted nuts, and subtle spice. The palate is rich and textured, yet retains a remarkable precision and freshness, with generous volume balanced by vibrant acidity. This vintage shows impressive depth, tension, and purity, and will benefit from a few years of cellaring to reach its full potential.
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).
