Lot 214 Details
DOMAINE AUGUSTE CLAPE CORNAS RENAISSANCE 2010
Rhône.

The 2010 Cornas Renaissance may be the finest example of the cuvee I have yet tasted. This offering represents about one-third of the Clape production and tends to come from two well-known sites in the natural amphitheater of Cornas, Les Sabarottes and Geynale. This astonishing 2010 boasts a black/purple color along with gorgeous, explosive aromatics consisting of blue and black fruits and spring flowers, a full-bodied, layered texture and superb intensity. Very pure with sweet tannin, it was bottled unfiltered after 22 months in primarily foudre, and should drink well for two decades. December 2012 Drink: 2012-2032 97 WA


3 bts. per lot $200 - $300
