Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines Alain Voge (Domaine)
Information
About the producer

In 1958, Alain Voge joined his father working the small family farm and decided abandon polyculture and devote the entire land to the growing of vines. The northern Rhône appellation Cornas owes much to this winemaker who has contributed greatly to putting this unknown appellation on the map. Today, the family has vines in several appellations: Cornas (6.5 ha), Saint-Péray (4ha), Saint-Joseph and Côtes-du-Rhône (red). 13 hectares are tended to using organic and biodynamic prinipals (certified since 2013).
The property was associated with Albéric Mazoyer, the former technical directer of Chapoutier, from 2004 to 2018, and with Lionel Fraisse from 2018, who stepped in particularly after the sad passing of Alain Voge in 2020.
His Syrahs are world renowned, as are his whites and sparkling wines from Saint-Péray. The concentrated and lively wines wines can be savoured both in their youth and after ageing. A stand-out producer from the region.

About the wine

Only produced in exceptional vintages, Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from a terroir which is itself exceptional. The vines of Syrah actually grow on a superb granite soil. With deep roots, the vines provide very expressive grapes. Like most of the domain's wines, the bunches are cut by hand and the partially stemmed grumes (grape seeds) are fermented with native yeast before maceration for several weeks in stainless steel vats. Punch-down and pump-over take place on a daily basis. So many treatments that allow the cuvée to age for at least 25 years. And such surprisingly delicate tannins. The wine is deep, robust and persistent. A wine of great elegance ... providing you wait before opening it, of course!
