The Alain Voge Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes 2020 is a robust Syrah from the Cornas region in the Northern Rhône Valley, France. It features concentrated flavors of dark fruit, black olive, and spices, accompanied by structured tannins and a hint of earthy minerality, reflecting the schist soils of the area.
Best enjoyed with rich dishes, this wine complements roasted meats, game, or hearty stews. It can also be decanted for an hour before serving to enhance its complexity. Ideal serving temperature is around 16-18°C (61-65°F) for optimal flavor development.
"The older vine cuvée, the 2020 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is 100% Syrah. It's similarly inky hued and offers up full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, graphite, bouquet garni, and iron. It's deep, concentrated, and powerful on the palate, with flawless balance, building yet silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is a straight-up thrilling Cornas to enjoy over the coming 15+ years. " From Syrah vineyards, more than 30 years old, on decomposed granite slopes, also called "gore". This wine is a lighter style, with some good violet and dark red fruit. The perfect companion for beef, a shoulder of young lamb in its early years, and of game or strongest meat."
