Saint-Péray Les Bulles d'Alain Alain Voge (Domaine) 2017

The wine

With Les Bulles d'Alain, Alain Voge chose to maintain the tradition of Saint-Péray’s traditional method. A success that he owes to careful work in the vineyards of Marsanne which he grows using biodynamic principles. These thirty-year old vines grow in granitic soil. Alain Voge harvests early at the beginning of September so that the berries can retain all their freshness and their fine floral aromas. Once they arrive at the domain, the grapes are not crushed but directly pressed. The wine is then made using the traditional method, i.e. it ferments once in small stainless steel and concrete vats before its second fermentation in the bottle. This natural brut then ages on slats for at least 3 years.

About the Producer Alain Voge

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.
