Goedhuis, March 2024
These 80-year-old vines on a granite slope, are some of the oldest vines of the appellation and sit at a higher altitude than those of Ongrie. It sees a slightly longer ageing than Ongrie too, 17 months with 20% new oak, which gives an appealing richesse and beeswax edge to the attractive white pear, nectarine, and apricot flavours. Meadow flowers and cream add further complexity, as does the waxy, honeyed texture, finishing lifted and fresh. Tasted from cask, this deserves time to develop, it is a wonderful wine. Drink 2025– 2029.

Vinous, October 2023, Score: 90-92
I tasted various samples that will compose the final blend of the 2022 Saint-Joseph. Vinified from fully destemmed fruit, it expresses sour cherry nuances, black cherry, distant blackberry, spicy undertones and some cedar. Medium-bodied and backed by fresh acidity, it shows solid potential. Drink 2024-2028.

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.
