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.
This cuvée was renamed in 2015, but in 1984 it was initially called Cuvée Boisée and Terres Boisées. These names referred to its maturation in barrels on the lees - an approach which earned this winemaker his name as a pioneer within the appellation. The wine is produced biodynamically and matured in oak (30% new 228-litre and 400-litre barrels). It is exceptionally full and rich in aromas, with a vivacious mineral quality to liven up its marzipan and vanilla notes and give the wine length and ageing potential.
