Cornas Domaine Clape: Cuvee Renaissance 2007

Description

This is a slightly lighter, more forward and approachable wine than the Clapes’ classic Cornas but it still displays all the signature characteristics of this domaine – a bouquet of dark hedgerow berries, a core of complex black fruit tastes with a grainy texture and a fine structure of tannins.

  • Style: Red Wine, Dry (Sec), Medium-bodied
  • Region: Rhone,  Cornas, 
  • Producer: Auguste, Pierre & Olivier Clape
  • Vintage: 2007
  • Cellarage: Best drunk between 3 and 12 years of vintage.
  • Vinification: The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness from 20(+) year-old vines, grown on the climats of Geynale, Tézier, Mazards, Patou and Pied la Vigne. Circa seven days of fermentation (with stems) at up to 34°C is followed by 3-7 days maceration to extract optimum tannins. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in wood followed by an 18 month élevage. Each lieu-dit is vinified separately and assemblage takes place just prior to bottling to produce the complex and distinctive house style.
  • Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 13%
