The Cornas 2020 from Domaine Auguste Clape reveals the soul of the appellation's granitic soils. This Syrah offers notes of blackberry, violet and pepper, a velvety texture and mineral freshness. To be enjoyed now or cellared until 2034, it is sublime with red meats and game.
Domaine Auguste Clape
Nestled at the heart of the Cornas appellation, this family estate embodies the demands of an exceptional terroir and the transmission of artisanal expertise.
- Terroir: Steep granitic slopes of the northern Rhône Valley, where Syrah draws its characteristic minerality and tension.
- Vinification: A traditional approach, combining long maceration and barrel aging, for wines that are both powerful and elegantly precise.
Tasting notes for the wine Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 2020
To the eye: A deep purple robe with dense hues, almost silky, revealing a generous substance and beautiful concentration.
On the nose: A bouquet where wild blackberries, blueberry, a touch of fresh violet, then darker nuances of graphite, black pepper and a subtle mineral smokiness intertwine.
On the palate: An ample, velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and a fine yet structuring tannic frame, giving way to a saline finish of remarkable length.
Serve between 16 and 18°C, in a Burgundy-style red wine glass to enhance its aromas.
Vintage 2020
A vintage marked by optimal grape maturity, offering wines that are both rich and of great freshness.
- Aging potential: To be cellared until 2054 under ideal conditions (stable temperature between 12 and 14°C, controlled humidity).
