Personalise your experience
The Cornas 2008 from Domaine Auguste Clape, sourced from Syrah on granitic soils, is vinified with whole clusters. Without new oak barrels, it reveals aromas of dark fruits, licorice, and violet, with a mineral and taut texture. To be cellared for 10–15 years, it pairs with game or cheeses.
Domaine Auguste Clape
A pioneer of the Cornas appellation, this family estate embodies the heritage of an exceptional terroir and an uncompromising winemaking tradition.
- Terroir: Steep granitic soils of Cornas, in the northern Rhône – a mineral setting that imparts tension and depth to the wines.
- Winemaking: Traditional method, whole-cluster fermentation and aging without new oak, to preserve the purity of the Syrah and the raw expression of the terroir.
Tasting notes for the wine Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 2008
To the eye: A deep red robe with garnet reflections, dense and silky, revealing an accomplished maturity and a velvety tannic structure.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry and fresh violet intertwine with notes of licorice, black pepper, and graphite, with a saline touch evoking the terroir's schist.
On the palate: A precise and taut attack, where chalky minerality mingles with a lively acidity and elegant tannins, leading to a long and persistent finish marked by hints of cocoa and tobacco.
Serving temperature: 16–18°C – use a Burgundy-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 2008
A classic northern Rhône vintage, where freshness and concentration balance each other to offer a wine that is both structured and harmonious.
- Aging potential: 15 to 20 years; store under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity, away from light).
