The Voge estate is based in Cornas and is one of the most renowned estates of the appellation. It was founded by Henri Voge (Alain's grandfather); as Alain's father passed away prematurely, Alain took over as early as 1965 and developed the estate's wine bottling (which until then had been sold to négociants). The estate boasts a fine heritage of vineyards, most often planted on hillsides, covering 13 hectares, of which 7 hectares are red (100% Syrah) in Cornas, 1 hectare in St Joseph, and 5 hectares of white 100% Marsanne located in the AOC St Peray. The estate's biodynamic conversion began in 2006 and was fully completed in 2013.
With a substantial potential of old vines, the estate has quality grapes to produce different cuvées that make up the extended range on offer. In AOC St Peray, the Harmony, Ongrie, and Fleur de Crussol cuvées are produced, with the latter being the most accomplished (70-year-old vines). A cuvée called Les Bulles d'Alain even produces a sparkling St Peray 100% Marsanne in brut nature, traditional method. In St Joseph, since 2015, the cuvée "Les Vinsonnes" has been renamed "Les Côtes", which is the name of the terroir located in the commune of Mauves. In AOC Cornas, the cuvées "Les Chailles", "Les Vieilles Vignes", and "Les Vieilles Fontaines" make up the range. "Les Chailles", whose vines are situated at the foot of the hillside on slightly more fertile soils, already provides a fine glimpse of the estate's expertise in AOC Cornas. The "Vieilles vignes" cuvée (60 years old) is more concentrated and from a mid-slope sector, which gives a precise definition of a Cornas of fine consistency, accompanied by notes of spices and chocolate. "Les Vieilles Fontaines", a cuvée created in 1988, comes from purely granitic terroir on the lieu-dit "La Fontaine", and from the oldest vines (80 years old). It is produced only in very good years (2009, 2010, 2012, 2015) and represents the archetype of concentrated and voluptuous Cornas that impresses with its power and aging capacity. It should be noted that the 2010 vintage was rated 100/100 by Robert Parker… All the estate's wines are highly recommendable and international critics have consecrated the estate's wines, which has had a quite notable effect on prices (particularly the "Vieilles Fontaines" cuvée).
