2019	Domaine Yves Cheron	Gigondas 'Cuvee Jurassique'	The 2019 Gigondas Jurassique is a step up and has more elegance and balance. Dark fruits, peppery herbs, leather, and assorted meatiness all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, with good structure and length. It’s not massive on the mid-palate, but I like the overall balance and suspect this will fill out with 2-3 years of bottle age. The blend is 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah.	Jeb Dunnuck	91+		2022-01-27
2001	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Despite not showing much bricking in color, I'd opt for drinking Alain Voge's 2001 Cornas Vieilles Vignes over the next year or two. Leather and smoked meat aromas dominate the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is velvety in feel, but the long, mouthwatering finish shows a metallic note.	Wine Advocate	90		2022-01-25
2016	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Les Bulles d’Alain	The newest vintage of Voge's sparkling wine, the 2016 Saint Peray les Bulles d'Alain is now made without any dosage. The nose is tight and restrained, but it's not as toasty as expected after four years en tirage, with hints of Marsanne's "white paste" character and citrus. Round in the mouth but fully dry, with a long, harmonious finish, it's a nice change of pace.	Wine Advocate	91		2022-01-25
2001	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Remarkably showing better than the 2011, the 2001 St Peray Fleur de Crussol (the wine's third vintage) boasts a dark, honeyed hue in the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, rich and honeyed in feel and flavor, with delectable hints of truffle and a touch of white pepper on the finish. A marvelous old Marsanne, it should be consumed in the near future.	Wine Advocate	91		2022-01-25
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Dense and concentrated, the 2019 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol is a full-bodied, distilled-down version of Saint-Péray from 80-year-old vines, with intense pear, melon and citrus shadings, plus hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings. Richly textural, it finishes on notes of citrus zest and brine. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.	Wine Advocate	92		2022-01-25
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Now, this is more like it. A big step up from the disjointed Les Chailles, the 2019 Cornas Vieilles Vignes is a classic rendering of Cornas, with hints of crushed stone, mint, blueberries and red berries on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated enough, yet it's not overbearing or heavy; it’s just deliciously drinkable and will drink well for more than a decade. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.	Wine Advocate	92		2022-01-25
2011	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Les Bulles d’Alain	The 2011 Saint Peray les Bulles d'Alain was the last vintage to be made with a dosage—a minimal two grams per liter. This bottle was disgorged in May 2016. Richer and rounder than the 2016 tasted alongside, it offers pear, melon and citrus notes, a round, ample mouthfeel and a gentle, creamy finish. Drink up.

2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint Joseph Les Cotes	Voge's 2020 Saint Joseph Les Cotes—from a parcel in Mauves—came across as slightly exotic in the blind-tasting lineup, with hints of violets, licorice and stone fruit. Maturing in older barriques, it's medium to full-bodied and supple on the palate, with an attractive softness that lingers on the finish.	Wine Advocate	90-92		2022-01-25
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	The 2020 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol—from 80-year-old Marsanne vines—is more typical Saint-Péray than the Ongrie bottling, offering up more subdued pear and melon aromas. Vinified and matured in a similar mix of 228-liter and 400-liter barrels (30% new), it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and round, charming and easy to drink, with a splash of lime on the long finish.	Wine Advocate	91-93		2022-01-25
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	The sample presented of Voge's 2020 Cornas Vieilles Vignes was reassuringly excellent, with gently lifted, floral scents of violets, cassis and crushed stone. Full-bodied, deep and powerful, concentrated and rich but still almost painfully unformed, this needs time in the cellar. It's a blend of several parcels, aged in barrel but with just 15% or so new oak.	Wine Advocate	93-95		2022-01-25
