“The power comes from the terroir. Let’s not add anything more to it<\/em>“. Alain Voge was a visionary. However, less well known is the fact that he was also a seeker of detail, a meticulous winegrower-gardener for whom winegrowing could not only be “beautiful, but respectful and meaningful<\/em>“. Alb\u00e9ric Mazoyer, and now Lionel Fraisse, are following in his footsteps. The same Ard\u00e8che country pride. The same passionate determination. The same sense of the community, of nature, of balance. But without standing still. Staying true to history doesn’t mean not moving with a changing world. The domaine is proud of this refined classicism. “Getting to know our terroir is a tremendous adventure,<\/em>” says Lionel, “but to intervene as little as possible, you have to understand as much as you can. The mystery comes later…<\/em>” It is this mystery that sees the birth, on these hard-to-work hillsides, of wines of great purity, wines made by craftsmen, created not to be admired but deeply loved: Voge wines!<\/p>\n 8 ha AOC CORNAS<\/strong> (Syrah grape variety), 4 ha AOC SAINT-P\u00c9RAY<\/strong>, (Marsanne grape variety), 1 ha AOC SAINT JOSEPH<\/strong> (Syrah grape variety) + AOC C\u00d4TES DU RH\u00d4NE<\/strong> (Syrah grape variety). Located on some of the finest slopes of the Cornas AOC, the Syrahs are planted in decomposed granite, known locally as “Gore”. The Marsanne vines are among the oldest in the AOC, most of them planted in Saint-P\u00e9ray’s historic clay-limestone soils. The entire domaine is certified organic and biodynamic.<\/p>\n Harvested by hand. Most of the Syrah grapes used for the red wines are destemmed. Fermentation is carried out in small temperature-controlled, 30-50 hectolitre stainless steel vats, with daily punching down of the cap and pumping over operations. After 3 weeks in vat, the wine is aged in barrels. This ageing lasts between 9 and 24 months, depending on the ‘power’ and needs of each wine. For the whites, whole grapes are pressed and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out in barrels for Fleur de Crussol and Ongrie, followed by 13 to 17 months ageing on the lees. Harmonie is also vinified and aged on the lees, but in concrete tanks for 10 months. Native yeasts and reduced sulphiting on all the wines.<\/p>\n The separate vinification of the grapes from the different vineyard plots results in several different wines: [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”right” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”side-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” sticky_position=”top” sticky_offset_top=”25px” sticky_limit_bottom=”column” sticky_position_tablet=”none” sticky_position_phone=”none” sticky_position_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Domai<\/strong>ne Alain Voge [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow icon_color=”#0B2545″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Suivez-nous sur les r\u00e9seaux sociaux” module_class=”socials-divi” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” sticky_position=”top” sticky_offset_top=”625px” sticky_limit_bottom=”column” sticky_offset_surrounding=”off” sticky_transition=”off” sticky_position_tablet=”none” sticky_position_phone=”none” sticky_position_last_edited=”on|tablet” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”facebook” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”instagram” url=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/domainealainvoge\/?hl=fr” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”linkedin” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]linkedin[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":117,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rhonevignobles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/domaines_caves\/1405"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rhonevignobles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/domaines_caves"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rhonevignobles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/domaines_caves"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rhonevignobles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rhonevignobles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Cellar<\/h3>\n

CORNAS<\/strong> \u2022 Les Chailles: A blend of hillside vines from several lieux-dits, this is the perfect introduction to the domaine and to the Syrah grape grown in Cornas. \u2022 CORNAS<\/strong> \u2022 Les Vieilles Vignes: Our great classic. The 60-year-old Syrahs in this wine grow in the heart of Cornas on its historic granite hillsides. \u2022 CORNAS<\/strong> \u2022 Les Vieilles Fontaines: Created by Alain Voge in 1988, on this gorgeous granite terroir, magnified by our oldest Syrahs. Produced only in certain exceptional vintages, Les Vieilles Fontaines illustrates Cornas’ strong personality and the spirit of our work. \u2022 CORNAS<\/strong> \u2022 Chapelle Saint-Pierre: The very special, vertical and fresh identity of this wine from a high altitude terroir (Saint-Pierre lieu-dit, 400 m), always vinified and aged separately, inspired us to make it a unique and rare single-vineyard wine, only produced when the balances are perfect. \u2022SAINT-P\u00c9RAY<\/strong> \u2022 Harmonie: With this blend of different plots, we are striving to express the personality of the Marsanne grape variety as faithfully as possible. \u2022 SAINT-P\u00c9RAY<\/strong> \u2022 Ongrie: Renamed Ongrie with the 2015 vintage, this wine was created in 1984 and was first named Cuv\u00e9e Bois\u00e9e and then Terres Bois\u00e9es, in reference to its vinification and barrel ageing on the lees pioneered by Alain Voge in Saint-P\u00e9ray. 100% Marsanne. \u2022 SAINT-P\u00c9RAY<\/strong> \u2022 Fleur de Crussol: The Crussol massif, from which this wine takes its name, plays an important role in the Saint-P\u00e9ray AOC because it provides the limestone elements essential for the crafting of great white wines. Our oldest Marsannes (80 years old), fermented in barrels and aged in the same containers for 17 months. \u2022 SAINT-P\u00c9RAY<\/strong> \u2022 Les Bulles d’Alain (traditional method): With this wine, Domaine Alain Voge perpetuates the tradition of the Saint-P\u00e9ray “m\u00e9thode traditionnelle” that has forged the reputation of the Saint-P\u00e9ray region since the 1830s. \u2022 SAINT JOSEPH<\/strong> (red) \u2022 Les C\u00f4tes: This terroir has very great potential and is gradually coming into its own as the vines age. Average age in 2023: 18 years. \u2022\u00a0C\u00d4TES DU RH\u00d4NE<\/strong> (red) \u2022 Les Peyrouses: We age a wine derived from organic growing methods and fresh terroirs, made primarily from Syrah grapes, in our oldest barrels, for 8 to 10 months.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ib7jubbrpd.preview.infomaniak.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bouteille-voge-92x300.png\")
