This magnificent and very elegant Cornas is aromatic, fresh and moderately full-bodied. Produced by the most prestigious domain of this appellation. More info
This cuvée owes its name to the proximity of the hillsides to the Arlettes limestone massif which allows the formation of special silicas called "chailles". Syrah vines, 40 years old, have been certified organic since 2016 but biodynamic principles have been used. Naturally, the harvest is manual. The fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts and the grapes macerate for several weeks in stainless steel vats with two daily rounds of pump-down and pump-over to extract all their substance and colour. Rich and powerful, Les Chaillés is beautifully tense and tangy. This wine can be enjoyed both young and up to fifteen years later.
Cornas Les Chailles Alain Voge (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Parmentier de boudin aux deux pommes, Rognons de veau grillés, Grives aux raisins.
Peak: Drink until 2024
What the experts say...
Juicy, baked fruit. Blackcurrant and black cherry. Fine tannic outline gives definition, and the acidity balances well. Lacking a bit of aromatic range, perhaps." Richard Hemming MW (Jancis Robinson)

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. His Syrahs are world renowned, as are his whites and sparklings from Saint-Péray. The ex-technical director of Chapoutier, Albéric Mazoyer has been working with the domain since 2004 and the wines are going from strength to strength. The domain has held biodynamic certification since 2013 and the wines drink beautifully both in youth and old age.
