Domaine Auguste Clape

Domaine Auguste Clape is a benchmark producer of Cornas and one of the Rhône Valley's most revered traditional estates. Family owned since the 1950s, the domaine farms some of Cornas' steepest granite slopes using time-honoured methods, producing wines that reflect the purity and rugged character of this historic appellation.

Made entirely from Syrah, the wines are powerful yet beautifully composed, revealing blackberry, black olive, smoked meat, violet and cracked pepper over a firm, mineral backbone. Initially structured and tightly wound, they reward extended cellaring with exceptional depth and complexity, standing among the Rhône's finest expressions of Syrah.
