Auguste Clape produces Syrah from Cornas, a steep-terraced appellation in the Northern Rhône known for dense, structured red wines. The winery's core offerings—Cornas, Renaissance Cornas, and Le Vin des Amis—showcase the dark fruit intensity and mineral grip characteristic of the region's granite soils and continental climate. Each wine draws from the same varietal foundation but expresses distinct facets of Cornas terroir. Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff have all assessed the portfolio. The Renaissance Cornas and standard Cornas represent the upper tier of critical reception, while Le Vin des Amis rounds out a focused range. These are serious, age-worthy expressions of Northern Rhône Syrah—wines built on the region's reputation for power tempered by elegance.
