Deep ruby with purple highlights. The nose reveals blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry alongside fresh violet, black pepper and wild herbs. With air, notes of black olive, liquorice, smoke and crushed stone emerge. The palate combines juicy dark fruit with fine tannins and vibrant freshness, while floral, peppery and mineral nuances provide complexity. The finish is persistent, fresh and spicy. An authentic and expressive Syrah displaying the unmistakable character of Auguste Clape. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Domaine Auguste Clape C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne 2023 offers a superb introduction to one of the Northern Rh\u00f4ne’s most iconic estates. Based in Cornas, the Clape family has become a benchmark for traditionally crafted Syrah and wines of remarkable terroir expression. Produced entirely from Syrah, this C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne benefits from the same philosophy and meticulous approach found throughout the estate. Rather than excessive extraction or obvious oak influence, the emphasis is placed on purity, freshness and the distinctive personality of Northern Rh\u00f4ne Syrah. The 2023 vintage is particularly expressive, combining vibrant dark fruit with violet, pepper and savoury nuances. More approachable in its youth than the estate’s Cornas, it nevertheless possesses enough depth and structure to develop beautifully with bottle age. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8000,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[311],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-16424","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-empty-bottle","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-after_add_to_cart"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
