With the brilliant oenologist who worked for Michel Chapoutier for many years, Alberic Mazoyers, now firmly installed at Domaine Alain Voge, these wines are taking off in a spectacular manner (not that they weren’t very impressive in previous vintages). The stunning 2004 Cornas Cuvee Vieilles Fontaines is certainly one of the few stars, a deep, full-bodied wine with an opaque ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of blackberry and cassis intermixed with truffle, scorched earth, smoke, and mineral. Full-bodied with great concentration, it is hard to believe this wine is a 2004, but that is the result of a combination of great winemaking together with a great site. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 448-9463

An alluring cocoa powder note leads the way for dark cherry, coffee, tar and black olive notes. The solid, muscular finish is dense but well-rounded--more in line with a 2005 than a 2004. A very impressive effort for the vintage. Drink now through 2015. 275 cases made, 80 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Cornas Select to Add

A selection of Voge’s oldest vines from an especially granitic southeastern exposure, this is more of everything than the Vieilles Vignes bottling—more intense, smoky, dense and dark. The mouthfeel is rich and nearly syrupy, while the flavors burst with cherries and spice that linger on the finish.——J.C.(9/1/2007)—— 91
