2024	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint Joseph Les Cotes	From a tiny hectare of relatively young vines outside of Mauves and aged 16 months in 400-liter oak barrels with no new oak, the 2024 Saint Joseph Les Côtes has a darker, more classic style compared to the lifted, exotic 2023, yet still has an incredibly floral character. Ripe plums, blueberries, violets, candied orange, and incense all shine here, and it's medium-bodied, with a supple, nicely balanced mouthfeel and a good finish.	Jeb Dunnuck	90-92		2026-02-27
2023	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Chapelle Saint Pierre	First made in 2016 as a single vineyard release from older vines, the 2023 Cornas Chapelle Saint Pierre is perfumed, exotic, and floral on the nose, with ripe blue fruits, violets, graphite, and pepper, along with a bright, piercing sense of minerality. It's medium to full-bodied and has ripe, firmer tannins, terrific overall balance, and outstanding length on the finish. Aged 20 months in 228-liter oak barrels with no new oak, this shows the quality of this newer bottling and is well worth seeking out. It should benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and evolve for 20 years or more. Drink 2030-2043.	Jeb Dunnuck	95		2026-02-27
2024	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Not scheduled to be bottled until spring of next year, the 2024 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol is cut from the same cloth as the 2023, with perhaps a touch less overall concentration. Stone fruits, honeyed flowers, crushed stone, and almond croissant define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a focused, tight, elegant mouthfeel and outstanding length. As with the 2023, it shows that subtle kiss of Burgundy-like reduction.	Jeb Dunnuck	92-94		2026-02-27
2024	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Chapelle Saint-Pierre	Deep purple-hued, the 2024 Cornas Chapelle Saint-Pierre offers blue fruits, violets, pepper, and exotic, orange blossom-like nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has impressive mid-palate concentration, ripe, velvety tannins, and impressive length. Aged 20 months in 228-liter oak barrels with no new oak, this young, dense, unevolved barrel sample has plenty of potential.	Jeb Dunnuck	92-94		2026-02-27
2024	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Not scheduled to be bottled until June, the 2024 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes shows a deep purple hue and offers a pure, classy perfume of blue fruits, spring flowers, crushed stone-like minerality, and pepper. It's beautifully balanced and medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel and a great finish. This barrel sample is aged 20 months in 228-liter oak barrels with 10% new oak, and Cornas excelled in 2024, which you see here.	Jeb Dunnuck	93-95		2026-02-27
2023	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	From a mix of terroirs, mostly from the lower lieux-dits with some younger vines from Saint-Pierre, the 2023 Cornas Les Chailles was completely destemmed and aged 18 months in 228-liter oak barrels with no new oak. It's a beautiful classic Cornas with ripe black fruits, bouquet garni, and peppery, violet nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, round, supple, and undeniably delicious. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2026-2041.	Jeb Dunnuck	94		2026-02-27
2016	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Beautiful and certainly in its prime drinking window, the 2016 Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines offers ripe darker berries, violets, orange blossom, and bouquet garni. It's incredibly well-balanced, with a fine, graceful mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and outstanding length. This is largely about finesse and elegance without sacrificing classic Cornas character, and it has another 10-15 years of prime drinking. Drink 2026-2040.	Jeb Dunnuck	96		2026-02-27
2023	Domaine Alain Voge	Cotes Du Rhone Les Peyrouses	Based on Syrah with smaller amounts of Grenache and Mourvèdre and aged 10 months in 10-year-old oak barrels, the 2023 Côtes Du Rhône Les Peyrouses comes from purchased fruit mostly from the northern part of the Southern Rhône. Beautiful Syrah character emerges in its red and black fruits, violets, ground pepper, and subtle bouquet garni-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, with a fresh, focused mouthfeel, supple tannins, and a good finish. This rock-solid Côtes du Rhône will offer ample pleasure over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2026-2032.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2026-02-27
2024	Domaine Alain Voge	St. Peray Harmonie	From two parcels, one at lower elevation and one with younger vines at higher elevation in the appellation, the 2024 Saint-Péray Harmonie is raised entirely in concrete tanks with complete malolactic fermentation. Beautifully pure aromatics of quince and tart peach intermixed with white flowers, almond paste, and a kiss of minerality define the bouquet. It's medium-bodied and balanced, with juicy acidity and plenty of mid-palate depth. Drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	91		2026-02-27
2023	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Not yet bottled but tasted as a final blend, the 2023 Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines delivers ripe, exotic aromatics of black and blue fruits, blood orange, violets, and incense, with some peppery nuances emerging with air. All the 2023s here have this exotic, lifted style, and this is medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Aging 24 months in 228-liter oak barrels with 15% to 20% new oak, it's going to need short-term cellaring to show its full potential.	Jeb Dunnuck	94-96		2026-02-27
