Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines Alain Voge Cornas, 2023

Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines 2023 from Alain Voge is a striking Northern Rhône red that captures the depth, freshness, and intensity for which Cornas is known. Sourced from old vines and crafted by one of the appellation’s respected producers, it offers a refined expression of Syrah with both power and precision.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, dark color in the glass, with aromas of black berries, violet, pepper, smoked meat, and a subtle earthy edge. On the palate, it is likely to be concentrated and structured, combining ripe dark fruit with savory spice, mineral tension, and firm tannins that should soften beautifully with time. As a Cornas from old vines, this wine has strong aging potential and will reward patience. While approachable in its youth with proper aeration, it is best enjoyed over the coming years as it develops more complexity and elegance.

Production
Cornas is one of the most rugged and characterful appellations in the Northern Rhône, where steep granite slopes create ideal conditions for Syrah. Les Vieilles Fontaines comes from old vines, which tend to produce lower yields and more concentrated fruit, while careful harvesting and traditional vinification help preserve the wine’s purity, structure, and sense of place.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with roasted lamb, beef, game, duck breast, and rich mushroom dishes. It also complements grilled meats and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, particularly if drinking young.

Producer
Alain Voge is a highly regarded producer in Cornas and one of the names closely associated with the appellation’s rise in quality. The estate has earned a strong reputation for expressive, terroir-driven wines that balance richness with finesse, and it is widely respected for its commitment to meticulous vineyard work and thoughtful winemaking.
