“Winemaker Albéric Mazoyer continues to keep this estate at the top of the pyramid in Cornas. The winemaking is impeccable, with one foot in the past and one in the future, which is always a good sign. The 2015s & 2016s are incredibly rich, unctuous beauties that are going to rival the 2009s and 2010s. Don’t miss them!” — Jeb Dunnock

| 2015 Domaine Alain Voge Cornas Les Chailles $324 6pack
Syrah
95 Points Wine Spectator “An understated style, but focus and you’ll see just how lovely the cassis, cherry and raspberry flavors are, carried by riveting acidity and flecked with notes of powdered white pepper and violet. An iron girder drives the finish, pulling everything along. This is defined by pure, sleek cut. Best from 2020 through 2035.”

Syrah
95 Points Wine Spectator “This offers a mix of red and black cherry paste flavors, infused with a range of bay leaf, savory, tobacco, olive and chalk notes. Shows a grippy feel through the finish, with the chalky minerality driving through. Best from 2022 through 2038. 1,230 cases made, 220 cases imported.”

| ******************** Domaine Alain Voge is a family-run winery based in Cornas and has over time built itself the reputation as a superstar of the appellation and its benchmark without doubt. Nothing but exceptional wine comes from this winery. Today, together with managing partner and winemaker Albéric Mazoyer, their heralded wines take centre stage on many tables around the world, they are wines known for grace and opulence that retain great purity of fruit while remaining soft in structure. Albéric is the driver behind moving the vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming.
The Les Chailles is aged all in neutral oak, and while the least expensive of Voge's cuvées, it's no lightweight and has serious levels of concentration and depth. It normally drinks well on release but can be kept for a decade or more.
A tighter, more structured wine, the Cornas Vieilles Vignes comes from a mix of old vines from across Voge's holdings. The average vine age is 30-90 years. This blockbuster-styled Cornas has more tannic structure than the les Chailles, but doesn't skimp on fruit or texture. |
