We hold the 2013 Northern Rhône vintage in very high regard. But Clape took everything to another level.
In short, he nailed the vintage.
Clape's Cornas undergoes an amazing transformation in the cellar. It evolves from being dense and powerful in its youth into something beautiful with surprising refinement.

In a vintage like 2013, we knew that magnums were essential and set out searching for any that we could find.
Clape's style flaunts the bone-crushing and savory side of Cornas. What makes Clape's 2013 so exciting is how the density is accompanied by great precision, savoriness and mineral-tinged verve. It's this total package that gives us really high hopes for how it will age.
We've opened so many stunning bottles of old Clape that we're convinced that few other Cornas can rival the age-worthiness of Clape. Setting aside a couple mags of 2013 is something that we strongly advocate.
