However, there are only a very select few who are truly great, and the Clape family will go down in history among the greats. For many years, the majority of growers in Cornas sold their fruit to négociants, but in the mid-1950s Auguste Clape became one of the first to bottle his own wine, which eventually paved the way for the entire appellation. Without pretense or fanfare, Auguste sought to reveal the greatness of a then little-known terroir in which he saw the highest potential. If today, collectors and sommeliers seek the wines of Cornas for their cellars, it’s thanks to Auguste’s vision and Kermit’s keen palate in choosing to import the wines when they were unknown. Auguste’s commitment to bettering his family’s wines endured until his passing in 2018 at the age of 93. Auguste was joined at the domaine by his son, Pierre-Marie, in 1988, and today his grandson, Olivier, carries on the legacy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e     \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Clapes farm just eight hectares of densely planted terraced vineyards, with a wealth of old vines, on the hillsides of Cornas where treacherous inclines make using any machinery in the vineyards impossible. All work must be done by hand, and the work is arduous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Clape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67962723401781,"sku":"CLAPEcornas23","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/domestiquewine.com\/products\/cornas-2023","provider":"Domestique Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
