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.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
