Dom. Auguste Clape, Cornas 2016 Red Wine, 75cLBy Winebuyers

Dom. Auguste Clape, Cornas 2016 is a 75cl red wine from Winebuyers. Would there be a modern Rhone wine industry without Etienne Guigal? Founded in 1946, it has certainly been the success story for the region with holdings from Cote Rotie in the north through to Cotes-du Rhone in the south. Guigal sells over 4 million bottles a year! Guigal made his reputation initially with stunning wines from Cote Rotie – which not only made his name but also, in a way, that of the whole appellation. This success allowed them to expand throughout the Rhone, buying and reviving old domaines and vineyards. Well-positioned vineyards in Condrieu was one such purchase and Condrieu La Doriane is a stunning, richer version of the classic Condrieu style which possesses an incredible ability to age. La Doriane is Guigal’s luxury Condrieu cuvee and a stunning, richer version of the classic style with rich stone fruit intensity, round and bold texture, great finesse and minerality and an incredible ability to age. La Doriane comes from 35-year-old vineyards. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
