One of the domain’s oldest classics, Les Vieilles Vignes has withstood the test of time with great success. Leave for a couple of years in the cellar so it can express all the talent of Alain Voge. More info
A great classic of the domain, this cuvée is also the oldest. Made from vines aged around 60 years old, deeply rooted in old granite soils, it is made using environmentally-friendly methods. The berries are harvested manually, partially stemmed and fermented with native yeasts before maceration for several weeks in stainless steel vats. During this time, Alain Voge and his team carried out regular punch-down and pump-over: up to twice a day. Just as its success transcends decades, so too will the bottle you purchase: its ageing potential is amazing. Leave it for a good twenty years in the cellar before enjoying it with a fine platter of game.

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.
