The vines, which are around fifty years old, are planted on very old Rhône alluvial deposits enriched with granite colluvium. The presence of limestone and clay in the soil explains the minerality and particular freshness of this wine. The nose reveals notes of marzipan, hazelnut, and vanilla. This is followed by a round but not overly rich palate with a lovely freshness on the acidity. The style is long and The nose reveals notes of marzipan, hazelnut, and vanilla. This is followed by a round but not overly rich palate with a lovely freshness on the acidity. The style is long and lively, with restrained power and hints of minerality, adding freshness and subtlety. What class!

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Alain Voge joined his father on the family estate in 1958. Abandoning mixed farming, replanting abandoned hillsides, and selling directly by the bottle, he put the vineyard on track, with 12 hectares now cultivated organically and biodynamically. Regularly in the spotlight for his Cornas and Saint-Péray wines.

About the estate:
Despite the climatic challenges of 2021, CEO Lionel Fraisse had a smile on his face 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 has continued to live since Alain's death in 2020. There will be no Saint-Péray Ongrie from 2021, nor any sparkling Saint-Péray from this year, says Fraisse, as these vineyards have been devastated by frost and mildew. In addition, Fraisse said that no decision had yet been made regarding the separate bottling of a Chapelle Saint Pierre 2020 and a Vieilles Fontaines. Fortunately, the 2019 versions here are solid, with the Vieilles Fontaines 2019 (still in barrel at the time of my visit) particularly impressive. We took advantage of my visit to find out about some wines from 2011 and 2001, so owners of these will find updated reviews in this report. This organic estate remains a fine source of Cornas and Saint-Péray.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The entire vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2013. The estate has exceptional hillside vineyards, which are 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 that is over 70 years old. Since the 2015 vintage, the Terres Boisées cuvée has been named after the plot from which it comes: Ongrie, located on granite alluvial deposits. There has also been a change for Les Vinsonnes, which has become Les Côtes, named after the terroir located in the village of Mauves. The red wine Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from 80-year-old vines planted on decomposed granite.
