Information
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.
The first Saint-Joseph of the domain, Les Vinsonnes is made up solely of Syrah planted on soil which is perfect for them to grow: a steep and particularly poor hillside. Harvesting is carried out manually, then the grapes are partially destemmed. The wine is aged in oak barrels for nearly 16 months. With its extremely fruity character, it also unfurls wild aromas (game and earth). Full-bodied but extremely elegant, it showcases its balance and indulgence when enjoyed young (5-6 years) with a fine cut of meat.
