Description
Experience the Elegance of Clape’s 2022 Cornas Syrah
Hailing from Rhone Valley’s revered Cornas appellation, this 100% Syrah embodies Domaine Clape’s legendary craftsmanship. Critically acclaimed with 95-97 points from Jeb Dunnuck and 96 from Decanter, the 2022 vintage delivers a sophisticated balance of power and finesse—perfect for collectors seeking age-worthy French wines.
Captivating Flavor Profile
Anticipate layered aromas of wild blueberries, crushed violets, and iron-rich minerality, elevated by signature savory notes of cured meat and leather. The palate unfolds with concentrated dark fruits, supported by ultra-fine tannins and a medium-to-full-bodied structure. While approachable now, its introverted character promises remarkable evolution over 5-10 years in the cellar—ideal for traditionalists valuing terroir-driven complexity.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Matured in neutral oak, this 13% ABV Cornas wine showcases Clape’s commitment to purity. Unlike heavier vintages, 2022 emphasizes elegance over austerity, offering ripe yet refined tannins (as noted by Vinous’ 93-point review). Its earthy rusticity and “beefy” depth create a distinctly Northern Rhône experience—pair beautifully with game dishes or mushroom risotto.
A Rare Investment
As a limited-release gem from France’s Syrah heartland, this bottle represents exceptional value among premium Cornas wines. Cellar confidently or decant for current enjoyment, knowing you own a benchmark expression of artisanal Rhône winemaking.
