An essential reference of the appellation, here is a bottle for serious cellaring.
The definitive reference of Cornas, Domaine Auguste Clape embodies a timeless and demanding vision of northern Syrah. The vines, some over sixty years old, are planted on the steep granite hillsides of Cornas, farmed according to traditional practices, with naturally low yields and restrained winemaking, faithful to the domaine's original spirit.
The 2023 vintage offers a particularly well-balanced reading of Cornas, marrying depth and energy. The nose is intense and refined, marked by ripe dark fruits, blackberry and blackcurrant, lifted by notes of violet, black pepper, smoke and graphite. On the palate, the texture is dense yet perfectly structured, driven by firm and fine tannins, remarkable mineral freshness and impressive length, the domaine's hallmark.
A great Cornas for cellaring, powerful without excess, that will reward waiting to reveal its full complexity. Decant in its youth or forget in the cellar for 10 to 20 years. It pairs beautifully with grilled red meat, game, aged beef côte, or cooking with intense flavours.
