Alain Voge

Alain Voge

Alain Voge is one of the most famous names in Cornas and St Péray.

The domaine rose to prominence when Alain joined his father’s smallholding in the late 1950s, moving it from polyculture to focusing exclusively on wine. He became the Cornas appellation’s greatest advocate, championing its reputation internationally as well as at home. Until his death, he was regarded as the godfather of this portion of the Rhône.

In his five decades at the domaine, Alain worked meticulously: replanting abandoned slopes, regenerating old-vine Syrah and using traditional winemaking techniques to produce increasingly noteworthy wines.

They are wines known for grace and opulence that retain great purity of fruit whilst remaining soft in structure. The Domaine’s wines possess great aging potential too, and they have developed a following worldwide among wine lovers and wine collectors alike.
