2022 Auguste Clape, Cornas

The 2022 Auguste Clape Cornas is a brooding, old-school Syrah packed with black olive, violets, iron, and smoked meat—wild and untamed, yet deeply expressive. Built from steep granite slopes and fermented whole-cluster in ancient foudres, it’s a wine that wears its rustic roots proudly and rewards patience. Clape, a pioneer of estate-bottled Cornas since the 1950s, continues to define the appellation with wines that are as soulful as they are age-worthy.
