Tasting Notes
It might be the least expensive of the Clape wines but don't let this fool you - It's still complex and age-worthy if you ask me. Deep violet, red and black fruits with typical Syrah spice. A lively structure yet intricate flavour profile with fine, mouthfilling tannin and good length. Drink now to 15 years of age. - Chris L
The inconspicuous cellars of Northern Rhône icon, Domaine Auguste Clape lie on the main N86 road that runs through the village of Cornas, hidden away behind a grey garage door. Their Cornas vineyards (7.5 hectares total, comprised of 5.5 ha of AOC Cornas and 1 hectare each of Côtes du Rhône and Vin de Table) are planted on a variety of the best hillside sites in the appellation - Coteau de Tezier, Les Renards, Les Mazards and Chaillot. The Cornas vines are situated on classic crumbly granite based soils with a favourable clay content. The Côtes du Rhône comes from stony alluvial valley floor soils. - Importer Note
