Cornas 2018 Les Vieilles Fontaines - Alain Voge
Alain Voge

The cuvée Les Vieilles Fontaines was created by Alain Voge in 1988, on this beautiful granite terroir, magnified by our oldest Syrah. Produced only for certain exceptional vintages, Les Vieilles Fontaines fully illustrates the strong personality of Cornas and the spirit of their work.
