How are the wines of Domaine Auguste Clape vinified and aged?
The estate favours simple vinifications with whole clusters and long ageing in multi-vintage barrels. The ageing extends over 12 to 24 months in old oval 1,000-litre foudres, between 30 and 50 years old, promoting a gentle and balanced oxidation. No new oak is used, and cellar intervention remains minimalist. This artisanal approach preserves the authenticity of the Cornas terroir and gives the wines a remarkable capacity for ageing.
