90 / 100
Wine Spectator
Wine Spectator
(2010) This offers beguiling aromas of sandalwood and patchouli, along with bay leaf and warm sautéed mushroom. The fruit is dry and almost wispy in feel, with hints of cherry pit and dried red currant that then give way to bitter orange and clove, which smolder on the finish. Starting to dry up, but still has complexity to offer. Vinified by Auguste before Pierre joined in 1987 and aged entirely in barrel, as the first foudres didn't arrive until 1985

The Auguste Clape estate is a reference in the Cornas appellation. Located in the southern part of the Rhône Valley, the red wines are 100% Syrah. Auguste Clape's Cornas wines are renowned for their straight, racy character and certain sobriety. Aged for 2 years in concrete tanks then in old foudres, these are wines built for aging. Since 1955, the Auguste Clape estate has been producing wines at the highest level, notably by adopting sustainable vineyard practices. Pierre-Marie Clape, Auguste's son who gained experience at Domaines Tempier and Le Vieux Télégraphe, has been working at the estate since 1988. He was joined in 2002 by his own son Olivier.

Only 2 cuvées are produced: Cornas with vines aged 40 to 90 years and Renaissance with younger vines.

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