    Producer

    The Domaine Alain Voge vineyard stretches across steep slopes, where Syrah vines flourish in clay-limestone soils. These unique conditions promote optimal drainage and sun exposure, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop a rich aromatic profile. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, respecting the principles of sustainable viticulture. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, creates an ideal environment for growing Syrah, resulting in wines that are both powerful and elegant.

    Owner and history

    Today, Domaine Alain Voge is managed by Alain Voge and his team, who perpetuate the family tradition while incorporating modern practices. Passionate about their terroir, they are dedicated to producing wines that reflect the identity of Cornas. Their commitment to quality and respect for the environment is evident in every bottle, making each wine a true work of art, a testament to their love for the land and the wine. It is a human and sensory adventure that the owners share with every enthusiast of their creations.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for the 2020 Chailles is the result of precise expertise and meticulous attention. The grapes, carefully hand-sorted, undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, allowing for perfect temperature control. This crucial step promotes aroma extraction while preserving the fruit's freshness. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, to impart a subtle woody touch that enriches its complexity. This aging process lasts approximately 12 months, during which the wine develops its character and balance, ready to offer an unforgettable sensory experience.
