Cellar Tracker October - 2021
Cellar Tracker
Evolved and moderately translucent brick-red color with a figgy hue. Evolved, somewhat meaty and slightly sweetish nose with aromas of beef jerky, some raisiny tones, a little bit of pruney dark fruit, light sweet nuances of cherry marmalade and blackcurrant jam, a savory hint of bouillon and a touch of smoke. The wine feels ripe, savory and quite evolved on the palate with a medium body and quite tertiary flavors of bloody meat, some wizened blackcurrant tones, a little bit of charred game, light leathery tones, a hint of sour cherry bitterness and an umami-rich hint of bouillon. Flavor-wise the wine is starting to get somewhat anonymous due to its age, but there's still a meaty Syrah edge that keeps the wine footed quite firmly in Northern Rhône. High in acidity with ample, textural and fully resolved tannins from which all the grip has melted away. The finish is dry, textural and very savory with lengthy, evolved flavors of beef jerky, some wizened blackcurrant tones, a little bit of gamey meat, light ferrous notes of blood, a hint of old leather and a sweet touch of pruney dark fruit. A harmonious, sophisticated and still thoroughly enjoyable Cornas that has done its passage through the plateau of maturity and is now gracefully gliding downhill. The wine still retains some evolved Syrah fruit notes and the bright, focused acidity lends good sense of freshness to the wine, but overall the wine is losing ground to anonymous tertiary flavors and oxidative qualities. Nevertheless, this is a terrific wine that retains great sense of balance and structure along with lovely depth of flavor.

Domaine Auguste Clape

The Domaine Auguste Clape is a reference in the Cornas appellation. Located in the southern part of the Rhone Valley, the red wines are 100% Syrah. The Cornas of Auguste Clape are famous for their straight, distinguished and sober character. Raised during 2 years in concrete vats then in ancient casks, they are wines carved for the guard. Since 1955, the Domaine Auguste Clape raises its wines to the highest level including adopting a reasoned work of the vine. Pierre-Marie Clape, son of Augustus, who has worked for the Tempier and Le Vieux Télégraphe estates, has been with the estate since 1988. In 2002, he was joined by his own son Olivier.

Only 2 vintages are produced: Cornas with vines from 40 to 90 years old and Renaissance with younger vines.

Area: 8.8 ha; Production: 30,000 bottles / year; Average age of the vines: 45 years; Red grape varieties: Syrah; White grape varieties: Roussanne, Marsanne
