Already in bottle and made from 100% Syrah, the 2012 Cotes du Rhone Les Peyrouses is a fresh, lively and supple effort that gives up ample plum, black raspberry and mineral notes to go with surprising depth and richness on the palate. Showing outstanding length, this smoking value should be purchased by the case and consumed over the coming 4-5 years.- WA90
Domaine Alain Voge is a French wine producer from the northern Rhône Valley. It is based in the Saint-Peray appellation where it grows Marsanne, and also grows Syrah in Cornas and Saint-Joseph.
The domaine was established by fourth-generation winemaker Alain Voge, who began working in his father's vineyards in 1958. Voge inherited several vineyards from his family, and then in the 1980s began expanding on them.
Voge now farms 6.5 hectares (16 acres) of 30-year-old Syrah vines in Cornas. The fruit here is hand-harvested and destemmed before fermentation, which takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Voge also has 4ha (10 acres) of vineyards in Saint-Peray planted mostly to Marsanne with a small amount of Roussanne.
The portfolio includes several wines under the Cornas and Saint-Peray appellations, as well as a single Saint-Joseph. Alain Voge also makes a Marsanne-based sparkling wine, and a red Côtes du Rhône.-Information from Wine Searcher.
