Tasting Notes
Smoked meats, orange peel and a touch of volatile acidity on the nose. Good energy, precision and an electric finish. Textured, with a massy mesh of tannins, tempered by a saline edge. Not complex, but authentic, and has the house style stamped firmly upon it. Score: 91. - Matt Wallis, 01 Oct 2019, Drink: 2020-2025 - Decanter
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
