Domaine Auguste Clape

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2018

Popped and poured into red Solo cups; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2018 pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark brambles, a touch of horse blanket, garrigue, purple flowers, black pepper, leather, and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Rustic and ever so becoming. What I would give to have unmitigated access to one of Clape’s most humble wines. Unfortunately, it’s almost harder to get than his Cornas these days. Drink now through 2038. — 19 days ago

@Somm David T I’ve been very fortunate to drink Clape’s wines, across the range and over the last few decades. They are some of the most special to me.

Cornas Syrah

Lunch with dad and Luigi. Such a great wine, first time trying it. Ton of sediment. Beautiful red fruits, very light bodied, loved it. — a month ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Renaissance Cornas Syrah 2016

Rich and full bodied. Nose of savoury black plums. So flavoursome - sumptuous, mouth filling and satisfying. One of the more enjoyable reds I’ve had of recent times. From the excellent 2016 vintage. This is the first of 2 bottles. Next one towards the end of 2027 or early 2028. — 3 months ago

Had 2018 under quarantine on July 25, 2020. Liked it. Nice and crisp but not overly so. Mineral. Lush. — 6 years ago

9.0

Apples and cream on the nose. Luscious flavors of pear and ripe honeydew with an edgy chalky minerality that keeps it from being cloying. Really lovely wine! My first real taste of white burgundy! — 8 years ago

St. Péray Blanc Marsanne

Deep, rich and enveloped within a delicate creaminess here is a Northern Rhône white that deserves its praise. The fruit is soft and doesn’t overlay the mineral component. I really like this one. — 8 years ago

Domaine Saint Préfert

Réserve Auguste Favier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

One of my favourite 2007s, and this is my last bottle. And that’s really too bad, it’s still drinking so nicely, still highly enjoyable. — 2 months ago

Domaine André Bonhomme

Les Pierres Blanches Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2022

Grape: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Viré-Clessé
Producer: Domaine André Bonhomme

What to expect:

* Nose: Ripe lemon, yellow apple, pear, white flowers, a touch of honey.
* Palate: Richer and rounder than Chablis, but fresher and less oaky than many Côte de Beaune whites.
* Texture: Creamy with excellent minerality and a long, saline finish.
* Style: Elegant rather than powerful.

Le Vin des Amis Syrah 2016

Very nice Syrah, but slightly underwhelming for the price point. Decanted 4 hours and it needs it at this point. Dark dark fruit, olive, some cured meat. — 5 years ago
