Goedhuis, March 2024
The estate’s ‘entry-level’ Saint Péray is made from 50–60-year-old Marsanne vines planted on a plot rich in limestone and clay. It imparts a fantastic matière and freshness to the wine, which in 2022 is part fermented in barrel and sees a light battonage. Incredibly easy drinking, it is light and refreshing; peach, tangerine and orchard fruits are layered with honeysuckle and almond. It glides across the palate, ending on salty minerals and lip-smacking fruit. Drinking brilliantly already. Drink 2024-2027.

Vinous, October 2023, Score: 91-93
The 2022 Saint-Péray Ongrie is made from older vines with an average age of 50 years. Entirely barrel-fermented and scheduled to spend 13 months on its fine lees, the 2022 incorporates roughly 20% new oak. Fragrant lemon flesh, cedar and white peach aromas emerge from the glass, complemented by tropical melon traces and honeysuckle. Round acidity neatly frames this refreshing Saint-Péray. Readers should note that no 2021 was bottled. Drink 2023-2028.

Alain Voge is owed a lot of credit for putting Cornas and St Péray on the fine wine map, thanks to his tireless work from the 1980s up to the 2000s. In his later years he has stepped down from the day to day management, entrusting this firstly to the accomplished Albéric Mazoyer and now to Lionel Fraisse who joined the estate in 2012, and who assumes the full post this year following Albéric’s retirement.

Alain Voge is owed a lot of credit for putting Cornas and St Péray on the fine wine map, thanks to his tireless work from the 1980s up to the 2000s. In his later years he has stepped down from the day to day management, entrusting this firstly to the accomplished Albéric Mazoyer and now to Lionel Fraisse who joined the estate in 2012, and who assumes the full post this year following Albéric’s retirement. Together they have driven the estate to ever-greater heights, in 2016 overseeing the final stage of conversion to certified organic farming. The domaine is rightly proud of the work it has done to champion the pithy, phenolic character of Marsanne grown on St Péray’s limestone and granite soils, and their whites have length and savoury bite. The reds are equally well handled, and are benchmark Cornas – bright Syrah with depth, freshness and a hint of wild hedgerow fruit.Read less
Region
St Péray
At the very southern tip of the wine producing areas in the Northern Rhone St Peray is something of an anomaly. It produces only white sparkling wines made in the traditional champagne method. Grapes are Marsanne and Roussanne. The best wines have great finesse thanks to a cool microclimate.
