2022 St Péray, Ongrie, Alain Voge, Rhône

Description

This cuvée comes from one hectare of old vines in the west of the appellation and was Alain’s first wine in the 1980s. The cool, long, 100% Burgundy barrel fermentation garners complexity and gentle pressing protects the delicate aromas. This is sensational with tropical fruit and vanilla aromas. The deep palate has white peach and orange blossom flavours – pleasantly refreshing after the ripe nose.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 91-93/100

The 2022 Saint-Péray Ongrie is more forward and supple, with beautiful citrus, quince, and honeyed, minty flower-like characteristics as well as a medium-bodied, textured, balanced style on the palate. It’s clearly going to be an outstanding wine.

The 2022 Saint-Péray Ongrie is made from older vines with an average age of 50 years. Entirely barrel-fermented and scheduled to spend 13 months on its fine lees, the 2022 incorporates roughly 20% new oak. Fragrant lemon flesh, cedar and white peach aromas emerge from the glass, complemented by tropical melon traces and honeysuckle. Round acidity neatly frames this refreshing Saint-Péray. Readers should note that no 2021 was bottled.
