Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 1998
Vintage Character
Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas 1998 is a red wine from Cornas, Rhône Valley, made from Syrah. 1998 produced savoury, structured Northern Rhône wines now showing mature complexity. Its identity rests on old-vine Syrah from steep granite slopes and a benchmark traditional Cornas style. whole-cluster fermentation and long ageing in old foudres shapes the wine's texture and aromatic detail while keeping the origin clearly in view. The result is a characterful expression that combines regional typicity with a measured, food-friendly sense of balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, it shows blackberry, black cherry, violet and black pepper. Winemaking and maturation add smoke, olive tapenade and cured meat, while time brings leather, earth and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with high acidity and high tannins, carrying the flavours into a focused, persistent finish. Its appeal comes from definition, proportion and the clarity of its site rather than overt showmanship. Serve it with braised beef, lamb shoulder or venison; those dishes echo the wine's savoury detail while allowing its freshness to reset the palate.
Winery Background
Domaine Auguste Clape is the producer, with Pierre-Marie Clape responsible for its winemaking direction. The estate's work is grounded in the vineyards and in a cellar approach appropriate to Cornas, favouring sound fruit, controlled extraction or pressing, and élevage that supports rather than masks the raw material. For buyers, the key value is the combination of defined origin, a recognisable producer signature and a style that works at the table. The stated dry profile, high acidity and full body also make the bottle easy to place in a collection or on a restaurant list. Proper storage and a suitable serving temperature will help preserve its detail, balance and length.
