Prices valid from 23rd May - 4th June 2017 Domaine Auguste Clape Now in his eighties, Auguste Clape is one of the few remaining old-school proponents of French winemaking, a pioneering and unassuming genius who falls almost effortlessly into the category of ‘great.’ In reality, of course, there has been much effort involved, the Clapes inserting themselves into the northern Rhône landscape in the early 1900’s to build their fortunes from next to nothing. Indeed, the Clape Syrahs from the Cornas appellation are among the most celebrated in France. Auguste paved the way there as the first to bottle his own wine. Today he works alongside son Pierre and grandson Olivier, farming a mere eight hectares of precipitous terraces by hand using traditional methods. Here, old vines are harvested as late as possible in a gamble with Nature to produce wines capable of tremendous longevity. The King, then, of Cornas, both because his wines are widely considered to be the best from this tiny appellation, and because he has at times fought single-handedly to maintain its integrity.

Luscious by Clape’s standards, it should age nicely for 15 years."

The organically farmed Château Beaucastel wines possess the ability to age fabulously, and present with a distinctive character that is all their own (while renowned as one of the best, their blend is definitely atypical). Along with Mont- Redon and Domaine de Nalys, Beaucastel is one of only three producers within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation to have all thirteen of the permitted grape varieties planted, and their individual red blend carries a greater than usual proportion of Mourvèdre. The property is today in the hands of brothers Jean-Pierre and François Perrin, who learnt their craft from their late father Jacques, and perpetuate his exacting standards as they engage in their own stylistic enhancements.

All the vintages contain grenache noir which makes structured aromatic wines with generosity and fullness. The Grenache is blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre to give the wines balance and personality. Ortas covers an area of 1880 hectares with 1240 devoted to the vine. It has a Mediterranean climate and the exposure of the vineyards is excellent: 70% of them are on south-facing hillsides (at 200-400 metres) swept by the Mistral; the soils are different types of clayey limestone, some of them covered with smooth stones.

This has the deepest color of the three 2004s, a dark crimson, and offers up sweet garrigue notes intermixed with ground pepper, black cherry liqueur, and some raspberry and earth.
