Domaine Clape Cornas 'Renaissance' 2016

Domaine Clape’s eight hectares of stacked terrace vineyards, scattered across the Rhone Valley, grow on predominantly granitic soils; fruit is used to create Syrah-based wines in a traditional style, rich in full-bodied, spicy fruit and powerful structure. ‘Renaissance’ is a rare Cornas approachable in its youth, showing delicious flavors of smoke, ripe plum, minerals, and herbs; will only get better over the next decade.
