Côtes du Rhône Les Peyrousses Alain Voge (Domaine) 2017

The wine

This Syrah, produced from terroirs close to Cornas, is matured for 12 months in barrels previously used for more than four vintages. Its aromas are typical for the region, with notes of macerated fruits (blackberry, cherry), pepper and liquorice. The juicy palate is full, supple and elegant with a hint of freshness. This wine has been made for drinking in its youth, within 3 to 4 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.
