Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 2022 is a full-bodied Syrah red wine from the northern Rhône Valley. Auguste Clape is one of the most celebrated names in the northern Rhône and is widely credited with transforming the region`s reputation from a négociant-centred model to one in which quality-focused domaines bottled their own wines. Clape Cornas is traditionally vinified and matured in used oak barrels for 18 months.

Bottled in mid-November, the 2022 Cornas from Clape saw the integration of the crop from the cuvée Renaissance due to a challenging flowering period and dry conditions, resulting in a production volume 45% less than usual. Evoking aromas of acetate, nail polish, violets and spices mingled with carnal/animal-like notes, it`s dense and firm, with an important chassis of tannins leading to a firm, smoky, somber, meaty and introverted finish, suggesting the presence of phenols, which explains its rustic structure. "It reminds me of 2017," said Olivier Clape.
