Description

The inconspicuous cellars of Northern Rhne icon, Domaine Auguste Clape lie on the main N86 road that runs through the village of Cornas, hidden away behind a grey garage door. Their Cornas vineyards (7.5 hectares total, comprised of 5.5 ha of AOC Cornas and 1 hectare each of Ctes du Rhne and Vin de Table) are planted on a variety of the best hillside sites in the appellation – Coteau de Tezier, Les Renards, Les Mazards and Chaillot. The Cornas vines are situated on classic crumbly granite based soils with a favourable clay content. The Ctes du Rhne comes from stony alluvial valley floor soils. – Importer Note
