Tasting notes
Enticing notes of bruised apple, herbs and fennel, with a subtly honeyed dimension lifted by toasted hazelnut, dried hay and salted brioche. The palate carries a fine, elegant mousse, driven by grapefruit-pith acidity and a mineral edge, finishing full-bodied with a pleasing touch of bitterness.
More About The Winery
Domaine Alain Voge is one of the benchmark estates of the Northern Rhône, deeply rooted in Cornas and Saint-Péray. The estate was established in the early 20th century and gained recognition under Alain Voge, who took over in 1958 and played a key role in restoring the reputation of Cornas and reviving the white wines of Saint-Péray. His work focused on meticulous vineyard management and a strong commitment to expressing terroir.
Today, the domaine covers around a dozen hectares across Cornas and Saint-Péray, cultivated organically and following biodynamic principles. The winemaking philosophy is precise and traditional, with careful fruit selection, gentle extraction, and restrained use of oak to preserve freshness, purity, and structure.
In Saint-Péray, the wines are primarily made from Marsanne, sometimes complemented by Roussanne, producing textured, mineral-driven whites with floral aromatics and excellent ageing potential. Now led by Lionel Fraisse, Domaine Alain Voge continues to craft elegant, terroir-focused wines that stand among the finest expressions of both Cornas and Saint-Péray.
