Cornas Domaine Clape: Cuvée Renaissance 2008

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.
