Alain Voge - Cornas Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2021 (Pre-arrival)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

This is our classic wine. The oldest of the Domain’s wines, it was created during the 1970s to highlight the long-standing family vineyard. Vines for this wine are located in the heart of the appellation, facing those we first replanted. Les Vieilles Vignes is a wine that reflects our history and our winemaking know-how.

Situated on slopes at an altitude of approximately 200 metres, facing South-South-East, the vines of our classic wine are on average 60 years old. Their roots delve deep down into old, worn granite rock, called gores locally.

Already bottled, the 2021 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is a tiny production cuvée that comes from a single parcel of very old vines. It's more inward and reserved, with beautiful darker, almost blue fruits as well as some gamey meats, liquid violets, ground pepper, and obvious mineral-like aromas and flavors. Concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully balanced on the palate, it plays in the fresher, elegant style of the vintage yet has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It should benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 10-15 years. It's impressive.
