2022	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Darker currants, cassis, sappy flowers, violets, and peppery bouquet garni notes emerge from the 2022 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes, another powerful, full-bodied Cornas with a great mid-palate, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. At this point, it’s more similar than not to the Vieilles Fontaines, if not a touch richer.	Jeb Dunnuck	95-97		2024-12-05
2021	Domaine Alain Voge	St. Peray Harmonie	Also all Marsanne, the 2021 Saint-Péray Harmonie is a fresher, vibrant effort offering pretty citrus and orange pith-like aromatics, medium-bodied richness, nicely integrated acidity, and a clean, classy style that's going to shine on the dinner table over the coming 2-4 years.

2021	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Chapelle Saint-Pierre	Smoked bacon fat and black pepper permeate a base of supple plum and baked black cherry flavors in this smoky red, which shows good freshness. Full but not massive, this is round and smooth, with a subtle chewiness that adds textural complexity. Drinking beautifully now, but with a long life ahead in the cellar. Drink now through 2035. 200 cases made, 10 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	95		2024-12-05
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	A burly, powerful red, with pleasing chewiness and savory intensity. Offers a beam of mulled currant, fig and black licorice built around a smoldering iron note. Shows impressive structure and finesse, with a tug of tar and savory density on the salty finish, which is marked by hints of grilled herbs, juniper and aniseed. Drink now through 2030. 225 cases made, 17 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	94		2024-12-05
2022	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Honeyed orange, rose, spice, and crushed stone-like mineral notes all emerge from the 2022 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol, a nicely balanced, medium-bodied effort that has good acidity, a structure, focused mouthfeel, and outstanding length. A beautiful wine, it will benefit from a year in bottle and I suspect still be drinking well in 2032.	Jeb Dunnuck	92-94		2024-12-05
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Lastly, the tiny production 2020 Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from 80-year-old vines on granite soil. It's a more primordial effort, offering layers of black and blue fruits, rose petals, candied violets, bloody meat, and bouquet garni. Uber-rich, powerful, and massive, it has good acidity, plenty of tannins, and a great finish. It is not, however, anywhere close to ready to drink. Hide bottles for at least 4-5 years, and it should be long-lived if stored properly. There's a touch more volatile acidity here, so storage conditions will be critical.	Jeb Dunnuck	96-98		2024-12-05
2021	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Not yet bottled and the flagship from Voge, the 100% Marsanne 2021 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol offers impressive depth and richness, as well as complexity, in its stone fruits, marmalade, and spicy aromas and flavors. It's balanced, it has plenty of mid-palate depth, and I love its overall purity and precision. It's certainly up there with the top wines in the vintage, but this cuvée always demands a few years of bottle age to show its full potential.	Jeb Dunnuck	91-93+		2024-12-05
2021	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Chapelle Saint-Pierre	The 2021 Cornas Chapelle Saint Pierre is upfront and expressive, with lots of red and blue fruits as well as candied violets, bouquet garni, and peppery, mineral-driven aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered, seamless texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's another remarkable 2021 from this estate that's going to have 15 years of overall longevity.	Jeb Dunnuck	93		2024-12-05
2021	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	Already bottled, the 2021 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is a tiny production cuvée that comes from a single parcel of very old vines. It's more inward and reserved, with beautiful darker, almost blue fruits as well as some gamey meats, liquid violets, ground pepper, and obvious mineral-like aromas and flavors. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully balanced on the palate, it plays in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage yet has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It should benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 10-15 years. It's impressive.	Jeb Dunnuck	94		2024-12-05
2021	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	An elegant nose of steeped cherry and cassis is layered with dried bay leaf and rosemary, propped up by a wall of iron and iodine mineral. A leaner style in line with the vintage, this is sanguine and complex, with a lashing of salt. Best from 2025 through 2032. 1,400 cases made, 200 cases imported.	Wine Spectator	93		2024-12-05
