Auguste Clape – Cornas Renaissance 2012 is a classic Syrah from the northern Rhône, sourced from younger vines and selected vineyards below the house's top parcels. The style remains unmistakably Clape: traditional, purist, and unadulterated.
The 2012 vintage now appears harmoniously mature. The nose offers aromas of dark berries, olive tapenade, black pepper, smoked meat, and herbs. On the palate, the wine is powerful, dense, and saline, with ripe tannins, precise acidity, and classic mineral depth. Matured in old foudres—as has always been the Clape tradition.
Ideal for lovers of traditional Rhône wines with maturity, depth, and character. Perfectly ready to drink now, with potential until 2030+.
