Tasting Notes
The Renaissance Cornas from Clape comes from the estate's younger vines (30ish years old!) yet the wine is still treated the same as the top Cornas in the cellar. The wine is bright and energetic, worthy of a good cellar but also more approachable at a younger age. Dark, spicy, smokey and mineral. Rare and excellent. - 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
