Cornas 2010 Domaine Auguste Clape
The Cornas from Domaine Auguste Clape represents the quintessence of Syrah from the northern Côte du Rhône, vinified according to deeply rooted traditions. The grapes used come from the ancient 'Petite Syrah' clone, cultivated in the best soils of the Cornas village. Harvesting is strictly manual, carried out at the ideal ripeness of the grapes. Each parcel is vinified separately with indigenous yeasts and stems, a process that preserves the authenticity and complexity of the terroir.
After fermentation, the wine ages for almost two years in old foudres, large oak barrels that do not impart excessive woody character but allow for a harmonious evolution of the wine. The result is a masterfully blended cuvée, combining wines from the oldest and most prestigious parcels, giving it balance and depth.
Clape's Cornas is a fine red wine, characterized by a robust and vigorous nature in its youth. With a few years of bottle aging, it develops extraordinary depth, silkiness, and enveloping qualities. On the nose, this wine offers intense aromas of small red fruits, aromatic herbs, and subtle violet notes. On the palate, it reveals itself as complex and velvety, with deep structure and well-integrated tannins, especially in more mature vintages.
This masterpiece from Domaine Clape is perfect for exceptional moments. It pairs beautifully with red meats, flavorful and spicy dishes, and hard cheeses. An ideal pairing is with wild boar stew, where the wine enhances and completes the rich flavors of the dish.
Recommended pairings: Red meats, flavorful and spicy dishes, hard cheeses. Perfect with wild boar stew.
