"A classic Marsanne with rich aromas and flavors of sautéed apples and brioche, the Saint Péray Terres Boisées 2014 is medium-bodied, round and nicely textured on the palate, with lovely freshness and purity as well as plenty of richness." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Vinified in barrel, this 100% Marsanne was then aged for thirteen months in barrique, and it shows. The woodiness leaves its mark on the nose and palate, but behind it lie pretty floral notes. We also appreciate the balance between fat and acidity.
About the domain :
Alain Voge joined his father on the family estate in 1958. Abandoning mixed farming, replanting abandoned hillsides, selling direct from the bottle, he set the vineyard on track, 12 hectares now cultivated organically and biodynamically. Regularly in the spotlight for his cornas and saint-péray.

About the wine:
Like the other whites, Saint Péray Terres Boisées 2014 is a 100% Marsanne aged in barrels. It has a classic, medium-bodied, juicy style with typical lemon, pineapple and white peach aromas that are the hallmarks of the grape variety. Made in an easier, more direct style than the other two cuvées, enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.
About the domain :
Despite the climatic challenges of 2021, general manager Lionel Fraisse was all smiles when I rang the doorbell of the small tasting room in the village of Cornas. I thought I caught a glimpse of the widow Voge behind the curtains to my right, where she continues to live since Alain's death in 2020. There will be no Saint-Péray Ongrie from 2021, nor Saint-Péray pétillant from this year, says Fraisse, as these vineyards have been devastated by frost and mildew. In addition, Fraisse said no decision had yet been made on the separate bottling of a 2020 Chapelle Saint Pierre and a Vieilles Fontaines. Fortunately, the 2019 versions here are solid, with the 2019 Vieilles Fontaines (still in barrel at the time of my visit) particularly impressive. We took advantage of my visit to inquire about some of the 2011 and 2001 wines, so owners of these will find updated reviews in this report. This organic estate remains a great source of Cornas and Saint-Péray.

About the wine:
The Terres Boisées 2014 offers a beautiful frame of freshness; it is built for cellaring.
About the domain :
The entire vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2013. The estate boasts exceptional hillside vineyards, entirely worked by hand. The presence of old vines also contributes to producing wines with a strong personality. The Fleur de Crussol cuvée, located in the La Côte area, comes from a vineyard over 70 years old. Since the 2015 vintage, the Terres Boisées cuvée bears the name of the parcel it comes from: Ongrie, located on granitic alluvium. Les Vinsonnes has also been renamed Les Côtes, after the terroir in the village of Mauves. In red, Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from 80-year-old vines planted on decomposed granite.
