The `Cuvée Renaissance` from Domaine Auguste Clape hails from their younger vines, which boast an average age of 30 years. It constitutes approximately a third of their overall production. The wine presents a remarkable accessibility within just two years of being bottled, showcasing its youthful essence through dominant notes of black fruit. However, a patient cellaring period of at least five years bestows great rewards. During this time, its sturdy tannins gently soften, harmonizing with the deep flavours of stone fruits and the cooler undercurrents of granite.

The medium-bodied 2021 Cornas Renaissance was bottled on the 24th of October 2023, just one week prior to my visit. Orange blossom and violet aromatics provide a floral lift, complemented by herbaceous elements, red plum and pencil shavings. Framed by refreshing acidity and neatly structured, I recommend readers give this complex Cornas two more years in bottle.Nicolas Greinacher28th March 2024
