2023 Domaine Auguste Clape Côte-du-Rhone, Rhone Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2022 Domaine Auguste Clape Côte-du-Rhône is a classic expression of the Rhône Valley, made from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre grapes. Sourced from select vineyard sites with limestone and clay soils, this wine reflects the rustic charm and robust character typical of the region. The winemaking process is traditional, with the grapes fermented in concrete vats and aged in old oak foudres, allowing the wine to develop its complexity and depth without excessive oak influence. This Côte-du-Rhône is approachable in its youth but has the structure to age gracefully for several years. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, stews, and Mediterranean dishes.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Auguste Clape is a legendary estate in the Rhône Valley, particularly renowned for its Syrah-based wines from the Cornas appellation. Founded by Auguste Clape, the domaine has remained a family-run operation, maintaining a deep respect for tradition and terroir. The Clape family’s commitment to producing wines that authentically represent the region is evident in their meticulous vineyard practices and minimalist approach in the cellar. The Côte-du-Rhône is crafted with the same care and attention as their more prestigious bottlings, offering a glimpse into the quality and style that has made the domaine a revered name in Rhône Valley winemaking.
