There are no official rules to their viticultural methodology—they work the old-fashioned way, by instinct, feeling, and common sense. The vineyards sit on granite subsoil, behind the village, with optimal sun exposure. They own pieces of such prime parcels as Reynard and La Côte, as well as Les Mazards and Pied La Vigne. They also recently acquired the vineyard, Les Sabarottes, bought from the now retired Noël Verset. Their only secrets: starting with old vines, and optimizing the ripeness of the fruit as best they can. They accomplish this by holding out before they harvest—a risky game of ‘chicken’ where the trick is to keep the fruit on the vine as long as possible while still harvesting before the rains. Individual parcels are vinified separately in old, oval foudres. Long élévages of twelve to twenty-two months add depth to the natural complexity of the wines. The wines are capable of tremendous longevity in the cellar, although Kermit also encourages trying them while they are young and fresh, to better appreciate the evolution to come.

Auguste was the first to bottle his own wine, which eventually paved the way for such contemporary superstars as Thierry Allemand. Without pretense or fanfare, Auguste, the former mayor of Cornas, is a stately picture of grace and magnanimity—a no-nonsense wise man who is still interested in learning. Today, he works side-by-side with his son, Pierre-Marie, and grandson, Olivier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the Clapes farm only eight hectares, the challenge presented by the rough, tightly stacked terrace vineyards of Cornas is largely enough to handle by anybody’s standards. The dicey precipices make using any machinery in the vineyards impossible. All work must be done by hand. There are no official rules to their viticultural methodology—they work the old-fashioned way, by instinct, feeling, and common sense. The vineyards sit on granite subsoil, behind the village, with optimal sun exposure. They own pieces of such prime parcels as Reynard and La Côte, as well as Les Mazards and Pied La Vigne. They also recently acquired the vineyard, Les Sabarottes, bought from the now retired Noël Verset. Their only secrets: starting with old vines, and optimizing the ripeness of the fruit as best they can. They accomplish this by holding out before they harvest—a risky game of ‘chicken’ where the trick is to keep the fruit on the vine as long as possible while still harvesting before the rains. Individual parcels are vinified separately in old, oval foudres. Long élévages of twelve to twenty-two months add depth to the natural complexity of the wines. The wines are capable of tremendous longevity in the cellar, although Kermit also encourages trying them while they are young and fresh, to better appreciate the evolution to come. For a taste of the old-style Syrah from the fabulous, sculptured slopes of the Northern Rhône, Auguste Clape’s Cornas is the only place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Local","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":42100051247174,"sku":"","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9144\/9158\/files\/Cotes-du-RhoneRouge-DomaineAugusteClape.png?v=1724787032"},{"product_id":"sauvignon-blanc-dipoli","title":"Sauvignon Blanc Voglar - Peter Dipoli","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc from Südtirol - Alto Adige, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relatively high elevation of the slope allows for full ripening of the grapes without loss of acidity or aroma.

It is a lovely name. But as usual here at KLWM, we invite you to look back to what launched such a masterly marketing idea.

Only it and pole-propelled skiffs can navigate the Loire there. When I visit to taste each year, he insists on taking me for a ride, so to speak. We zoom along, scraping over the sandbars, veering sharply to avoid sunken tree trunks and wine buyers, ducking to avoid hanging vines and branches, while I act cool, smiling blissfully, hanging on with whitened knuckles and pounding heart, thinking that if l told you, my clients, that I was risking life and limb to get a decent Pouilly-Fumé into your glasses, you would not take me seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I find unusual and remarkable about Minet’s old-vines cuvée is its class.

But how many have the class and exquisite harmony of Minet’s? Everything is in balance, there are no rough or sharp edges, nothing to set your teeth gnashing in frustration.

Lapierre","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Gamay from Beaujolais, France. Organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"There is something rebellious about the Beaujolais, about its wines that make you want to drink from your heart and not with your head. They’re wines that have the power to satisfy something deep within—the carnal instinct to imbibe, perhaps. And while there is no shortage of fabulous cru and village Beaujolais to choose from in the Kermit Lynch Beaujo-sphere, there is one that seems to embrace the uninhibited essence of the region like none other: Lapierre’s Vin de France “Raisins Gaulois.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name translates to something straightforward and entirely fitting: “Wine of France”– meaning, nothing fancy appellation-wise–even though most of its fruit grows firmly in the region’s illustrious cru of Morgon. And “Gallic Grapes,” a nickname inspired by their ancestors once inhabiting the region, the Gauls, who used to store whole bunches of grapes in stone vats before fermentation. This technique later evolved into today’s carbonic maceration, a fruit-enhancing practice for which the region is famous. To vinify this ultra lightweight red, siblings Camille and Mathieu let young vines grow freely in order to reach yields beyond the strict limits for the appellation, which unburdens them from intensity and concentration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage of “Raisins Gaulois” is as lively as any Lapierre has ever produced. It’s raised sulfur-free for just two months in cuve, which seems like barely enough time for fruit juice to become a wine– but that’s the whole point! Pure Gamay bottled unfiltered with a convenient screw cap and iconic label to boot. You can take it anywhere: the beach, a grassy field, a movie theater? It’s a wine for the present to keep parched palates hydrated with something raw and refreshing. Cheers to that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Local","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":42313381806150,"sku":"","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9144\/9158\/files\/RaisinsGaulois-MarcelLapierre.png?v=1732634016"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvt.com\/collections\/kermit-lynch-wine-merchant-test.oembed?page=2","provider":"The Local: Wine \u0026 Beer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
