Winery: Alain Voge
Region: Rhône - Nord (Northern Rhône)
Locale: Cornas, France
Appellation: Saint-Péray Controlée
Designation: AOC

In a few words: Strikingly divine!

Site: Situated in the place of origin of the appellation above the village of Saint-Péray and aged 80 years, the vines are the oldest of the domain and of the appellation. This slope of granite mixed with limestone colluvium faces South-East. It stands opposite Château de Crussol and the mountain range of the same name.

Grapes: 100% Marsanne, harvested manually 

Fermentation and Aging: Winemaking using traditional yeasts, exclusively in 400-litre oak barrels, with 20% new oak. Aged on fine lees for 17 months.

Notes: An incredible aromatic bouquet abounds: golden fruit, white flowers, and toasted brioche. Medium-bodied, nicely balanced and textured in the mouth, with purity and precision. Flavors of juicy golden fruit and honeysuckle deepen and spread throughout the mid-palate, and the mineral and floral notes drive a strikingly long finish. This cuvée benefits from a few years of bottle age to show its full potential, and will continue drinking beautifully for up to 10 years.
