Clape is the very essence of traditionally made Northern Rhône. This world-class estate was the first in Cornas to estate-bottle Syrah and sell it under their own name. Auguste Clape’s passion for the region was so strong, he even went on to become its mayor. In the world of wine, there are many good winegrowers. However, there are only a very select few who are truly great, and Auguste Clape will go down in history as one of those greats. Today, his son, Pierre-Marie, and grandson, Olivier, carry on his legacy with honor and integrity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor those with a taste of the old-style Syrah from the meticulously sculptured slopes of the Northern Rhône, Clape’s Cornas truly is the “reference point.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"The 2020 Cornas is even better, ranking with some of the finest Cornas I've ever tasted. Deep purple-hued, with insane aromatics of bloody blue fruits, liquid violets, graphite, pepper, and smoked meats, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, multi-dimensional, layered mouthfeel, building yet ultra-fine tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. It offers pleasure even now but will be best from 2034-2054. It will be interesting to see if this shuts down after a few years (as most top vintages of Clape tend to do), but I wouldn't be surprised to see this evolve along the lines of the 2010, which is absolutely singing today!” \u003cspan style=\"color: #b51a00;\"\u003e99\u003c\/span\u003e, Jeb Dunnuck (3\/24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\"A vibrant, focused and intense style of Cornas, a return to a classic style after the richness of 2018 and the power of 2019. Their Renaissance will be made this year, so both wines will need to be bottled before a more precise evaluation of each blend can be made, but the outlook is good. Whole-bunch fermented in unlined concrete tanks, matured in small old foudres.\" 97 - Matt Wells, Decanter (10\/2021)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Wine Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48435571851522,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/Zb605wBwRCKVkg6kXEffDg_pb_x300_c5e493c7-ac4e-4c78-b675-e71e4c60c23e.png?v=1725999446","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2020-domaine-auguste-clape-cornas-750ml-copy","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
