Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah

Imprecise, rustic and truly arteasanal. Despite this I have the feeling it will improve a lot with time. Perfect wine for food pairing. 93-93+ — 4 days ago

Love this. Such a comforting red fruit profile together with pine needles and the slightest hint of forest floor. — 4 months ago

Renaissance Cornas Syrah 2020

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2020 Cornas Renaissance is delicious. It bursts with crushed violet, cured meat, menthol and black fruit aromatics. Peppery layers add more complexity. Offering increased concentration and an even riper profile than the 2022, I have no doubt that the powerful and neatly balanced 2020 Renaissance will be a long-distance runner. Medium- to full-bodied, it concludes with persistence on the complex finish. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, March 2024)

Les Ecaillers Alsace Riesling 2014

“Les Ecaillers”…. Made with grapes grown on two parcels in the calcaire-rich portion of the Pfersigberg grand cru, which has resulted in a racier wine.” — 5 months ago

Léon Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Glad to see that winemaking trend is going towards more approachable while it doesn’t have to sit inside the bottle for more than a decade or so! Medium body, dry. Greatly integrated oak note with cherry on the palate. Paired well with a steak dinner. — 7 months ago
