WINE DESCRIPTION
Auguste Clape Côtes du Rhône Rouge is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker Auguste Clape in the Côtes du Rhône appellation of France. The wine is made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes grown in the region's rocky and steep vineyards, which impart unique mineral and earthy flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, natural fermentation, and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and full-bodied wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Auguste Clape Côtes du Rhône Rouge is an excellent example of a Côtes du Rhône from the Rhone Valley.It has an intense ruby colour in the glass. On the nose, there are aromas of ripe blackberry and cherry, with hints of pepper and herbs. On the palate, the wine has a medium body with good acidity and a spicy finish, and nice tannic structure. Flavours of red fruit, liquorice and black pepper are balanced with a pleasing minerality. The finish is long and smooth. Overall, this is an approachable and enjoyable wine.
