Housed in a fully modern winemaking facility in Dundee, Oregon, Voix de la Vigne wines are made by French-born winemaker Bruno Corneaux.
The wines are crafted to express the purity of each grape variety. These are elegant wines, with no use of new oak, and relatively low alcohol levels.
The grapes are sourced from a variety of vineyard sites from both volcanic and sedimentary soils. These vineyards are under the viticultural control of Bruno Corneaux and his team.
Voix de la Vigne wines are dressed up to evoke classics from the old world. The label is not only pleasing to the eye, but serves also as an indication of what the buyer can expect from the wine.
The intent is to ‘speak’ to the wine buyer who is interested in wine of elegance and finesse- the hallmark of the Voix de la Vigne brand.

2016 Vintage Summary
Similar to the last two vintages, the 2016 growing season continued to push the envelope for defining the new normal in Oregon as one of the earliest on record. An unusually warm spring gave way to moderate summer conditions, which provided even growing conditions through véraison. Though it was an intense growing season due to the early start, the fruit produced throughout the state resulted in wonderful concentra-tion and complexity with characteristic natural acidity.
The 2016 vintage saw practically immaculate fruit with few signs of disease, pest or bird effects. Vineyards and wineries in the Willamette Valley were largely finished with harvest by the end of September to early-October, while wineries in other regions carried on through
mid-to-late October depending on the varieties planted. Because of the cooler temperatures in September and October, Growing Degree Days (GDD) accumulation in the western valleys ended up between the totals seen in 2013 and 2014. Lower GDD was also seen in eastern Oregon and Washington where the coolest conditions in the Pacific Northwest were experienced.

2017 Vintage Summary
After three consecutive warm vintages in the Willamette Valley, the 2017 vintage was a welcomed return to normal. The fundamental characteristics of the Willamette Valley’s climate is cool and moderate; ripening each cluster just as fall approaches. Cool-climate wine regions allow for complexities in flavor and tannin development while retaining the backbone of the wine’s acidity. The season started with a cool and wet March, April and May, which pushed bloom back to late June, setting the stage for a later harvest. Warm and dry conditions prevailed through the summer months creating the ideal situation for steady vine growth and fruit ripening. The vines set a higher than average crop. These crop levels were managed to bring the best out of the fruit. As with all classic Oregon vintages, the weather conditions we see in September and October play a role in the quality of the vintage. September heat waves can shrivel fruit, which forces an early harvest and brings the wines out of balance. 2017 did not disappoint. Two early September rain events refreshed the soils, giving the vines a boost to extend the growing season and build complexity. The first fruit harvested was in the third week of September. Calm and cool weather allowed for an easy pace of harvest through October. Pure, delicate and vibrant wines with intriguing structure were the result.

2019 Vintage Summary
2019 marked the return of a cool and mild vintage for the Willamette Valley. The winter months brought moisture and cool temperatures to the area, but gave way to warmer temperatures as we moved into spring. The warm temperatures in spring gave the vines a boost to start the growing season. As the summer months came and went, they brought with them cooler than average daytime high’s and above average amounts of rainfall for that time of year. Cool temperatures continued into the fall as harvest approached. Rain was the story for the first part of September, which extended the ripening time of the fruit and pushed out harvest just slightly. Bright and sunny days with cool dry nights returned for the last half of September and continued into October allowing for ideal conditions to make picking decisions. Most consider the conditions to be that of a much more “classic” Oregon vintage. Overall the vintage produced wines with delicate nuanced aromas and balanced acidity.

Nice dark, late summer strawberry, cocoa, dried thyme and basil, with a touch of graphite. There is a colorful mix of dried, savory herbs in this wine that pairs beautifully with the fruit. Undertones of cocoa, just a hint of coffee and earthiness really create a lovely blend of aromatics in the classic, yet somewhat bold Cabernet Franc. The bright entry mixes well with the slightly creamy berry mid-palate. The finish is lengthy with fine tannin and flavors of thyme, mocha and just a touch of spice and earth. I love this Cabernet Franc because it show respect and restraint. It’s a classic, with a bit of a new world twist.
