Tasting Notes
Domaine Auguste Clape producers some of greatest Syrah/Shiraz in the world. Ask around. Their Syrah's from Cornas are concentrated, deep and immensely structured. They require time in the cellar to bring out their best, often multiple decades. Your patience will be rewarded. - 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
