WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from old vines that are grown on steep, granite hillsides, which impart unique mineral and spice flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, which add complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, rich and powerful red with intense aromas of dark fruit, black pepper, and leather. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the unique character and complexity of wines from the Cornas appellation.

ORIGINS

Winery: Alain Voge

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
