Tasting Note

Enjoyable in bottle, restrained and elegant with finesse and balance, impressive blackberry, loganberry, liqourice, cocoa bean, crayon and pencil lead, savoury and juicy. Pushing the extraction a little but it works because there is plenty of fruit underneath. 90% French oak barrels, 10% large oak casks for ageing. Can age, but has a suppleness that means I would not worry about waiting too long. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

About the Winery

Château Pape Clément

Nestled in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Bordeaux, the Château Pape Clément winery is a remarkable jewel of French viniculture. Dating back to the 13th century, this vineyard is one of the oldest wineries in Bordeaux and its rich history is imbued with a sense of tradition and savoir-faire that carries through to the exceptional wines they produce today.

The Château Pape Clément takes its name from Pope Clement V, who was given the estate as a gift during his tenure as the Archbishop of Bordeaux, before becoming Pope. However, it is not just the auspicious heritage that singles out this winery; it is the quality of the wines that truly puts it in a league of its own. Every bottle bearing the Château Pape Clément label reflects meticulous care and respect for the terroir, which has been carefully nurtured for over seven centuries to create an extraordinary viticulture environment.

The estate spans over 60 hectares and is blessed with an exceptional terroir that includes gravel soils warming in the sun to give a unique microclimate fostering mature, full-bodied grapes with a sublime mineral finish. Château Pape Clément chiefly produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, recognised for their deep colour and powerful yet refined
