Clape Cornas exemplifies the robust character and unique terroir of the Cornas appellation. The vineyards are rooted in granite-rich soils which lends a distinct minerality and depth to the wine.

Traditional winemaking techniques including whole-cluster fermentation, and maturation in old oak foudres enhance the wine’s complexity and structure which unfolds with Syrah’s intense flavours of dark berries, blackcurrants and smoked meats. Earthy undertones, black pepper and violet notes emerge on the long finish. and firm tannins and vibrant acidity suggest excellent ageing potential.
