Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Alain Voge joined his father on the family estate in 1958. Abandoning mixed farming, replanting abandoned hillsides, selling direct from the bottle, he put the vineyard on the right track, 12 ha today cultivated organically and biodynamically. Regularly in the spotlight for his cornas and saint-péray.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
Despite the climatic challenges of 2021, general manager Lionel Fraisse was all smiles when I rang the doorbell of the small tasting room in the village of Cornas. I thought I caught a glimpse of the widow Voge behind the curtains to my right, where she continues to live since Alain's death in 2020. There will be no Saint-Péray Ongrie from 2021, nor Saint-Péray pétillant from this year, says Fraisse, as these vineyards have been devastated by frost and mildew. In addition, Fraisse said no decision had yet been made on the separate bottling of a 2020 Chapelle Saint Pierre and a Vieilles Fontaines. Fortunately, the 2019 versions here are solid, with the 2019 Vieilles Fontaines (still in barrel at the time of my visit) particularly impressive. We took advantage of my visit to inquire about some of the 2011 and 2001 wines, so owners of these will find updated reviews in this report. This organic estate remains a great source of Cornas and Saint-Péray.

Wine rated (guide 2024) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
The entire vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2013. The estate boasts exceptional hillside vineyards, entirely worked by hand. The presence of old vines also contributes to producing wines with a strong personality. The Fleur de Crussol cuvée, located in the La Côte area, comes from a vineyard over 70 years old. Since the 2015 vintage, the Terres Boisées cuvée bears the name of the parcel it comes from: Ongrie, located on granitic alluvium. Les Vinsonnes has also been renamed Les Côtes, after the terroir in the village of Mauves. In red, Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from 80-year-old vines planted on decomposed granite.
