Auguste Clape is the Master of masters in the northern Rhône. Much to our delight, he vinifies a more affordable jewel like this. Earthy, sun-kissed aromas, violets, leather, and tobacco represent everything there is to love about the northern Rhône.
Made from two parcels: one is Syrah planted within Saint-Péray AOC, which is classified as
Côtes du Rhône; the second is at the bottom of a slope just beneath the boundary of Cornas
AOC, level with the village of Cornas
In some years, a small amount (around 2%) of press wine from young-vine Cornas is added
Fermented and aged in cement tanks with part of the wine passing briefly in foudres
