2021 Cornas “Renaissance”

Domaine Clape
$166.00
AT CART MAX

Made from the domaine’s younger Cornas vines, Renaissance showcases top terroirs across the appellation in a slightly more accessible way than Clape’s flagship bottling. Given the same treatment—vinified naturally with whole clusters and aged in old foudres for nearly two years before being bottled unfiltered—it can be uncorked in its youth, although it certainly has the structure to age for many years. Replete with inky black fruit, black olive, and gamey overtones, this Syrah is the real deal from one of the best in the game.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
