"(Made with 20 percent whole clusters and 20 percent new oak) Youthful purple. High-pitched, mineral-accented aromas of blackberry, cherry and olive paste are complemented by an incense note and a strong suggestion of smoky Indian spices. Sappy, pliant and alluringly sweet, offering palate-coating black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors and a subtle hint of vanilla. Finishes sweet, focused and extremely long, displaying smoky mineral and floral pastille notes and velvety, slow-building tannins. Winemaker Alberic Mazoyer told me that there’s 'a freshness and approachable character to the 2014s that’s a lot like 2011 and 2006, maybe 2012 as well, but those are a little more soft and round.' In other words, they are wines that will provide plenty of pleasure pretty much straight out of the gate, 'but they also have good balance and forward vintages have proven that they can age very well,' he added. It’s worth noting that Voge is to Saint-Pèray as Vernay is to Condrieu, as this was one of the only sources of truly fine wines from the appellation during the years that it was essentially written off, especially by wine writers but also by importers and consumers. Now, Voge often produces the best Saint-Pèrays of a given vintage and they have increasingly stiff competition from the likes of Jaboulet, Chapoutier, Cuilleron, Domaine du Tunnel and Clape, among many others."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
