Description
Clape Cornas Syrah 2015 – A Legendary Northern Rhône Masterpiece
Experience the pinnacle of Cornas winemaking with Clape’s 2015 Syrah, a critically acclaimed vintage celebrated for its profound depth and age-worthy structure. Hailing from France’s esteemed Rhône Valley, this limited-production red wine showcases the purest expression of Syrah, earning perfect 100-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck and near-universal acclaim from top critics.
Why This Wine Stands Out:
- Critics’ Darling: “Cornas at its finest” (Jeb Dunnuck 100 pts) with 98+ scores from James Suckling, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate
- Bold & Complex Profile: Layers of blackberry, crushed violets, graphite, and signature Cornas minerality with hints of smoked meat and white pepper
- Exceptional Aging Potential: Built to evolve for decades, featuring ripe tannins and a “prodigious” iron-spine finish (Wine Spectator)
- Artisanal Craftsmanship: Hand-harvested grapes from Clape’s historic granite slopes, fermented with native yeasts
Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas:
The 2015 vintage opens with an intoxicating bouquet of wild blueberries, licorice, and exotic spices, unfolding into a velvety palate of spiced plum and charcuterie notes. Its “liquid rock” texture (Jeb Dunnuck) makes it ideal for rich dishes like herb-crusted lamb or truffle-infused mushroom risotto.
