The Story

Monsieur Clape's Cornas is systematically considered the best in the appellation, constantly attaining the most amazing levels of excellence. There is always a extremely deep purple, almost black colour that exudes a never ending array of rich complex aromas of dried fruits, liquorice, spice and pepper.

Written Notes

Cask samples tasted at the domaine.
Sample cuvée 1: Mazards and Pied La Vigne.
Leathery nose, quite repressed fruit. Peppery and elegant. Light, delicate style – especially for Cornas. Supple tannins.
Sample cuvée 2: Reynards young vines.
Leather, aniseed, black cherry. Upfront fruit, with more juice than sample cuvée 1, but less persistence.
Sample cuvée 3: Petite Côte.
Rich black fruit. Spicy-sausage complexity. Violets too. Leathery and length, and opens in the glass.
Sample cuvée 4: Sabarotte.
So fragrant! Liquorice, leather, stables and black fruit. Great poise and precision with high acid and softer tannins than expected.
Sample cuvée 5: La Côte.
Fairly closed and dense with lots of fruit power and chewy tannic grip. No spice here, it's all dark fruits.
Sample cuvée 6: Reynards vieilles vignes.
Black-cherry fruit, beefy nose, fully tannic and heady. Seems like the engine room of a blend.
