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

Château Pape Clément is one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most prestigious wine estates, located in Pessac-Léognan, just outside the city of Bordeaux. Its history dates back to 1300 when Bertrand de Goth, the future Pope Clement V, received the vineyard as a gift upon becoming Archbishop of Bordeaux. The estate was named in his honour and has produced wine continuously for over 700 years, making it one of the oldest documented vineyards in the region.
