92 Robert Parker
A strong effort, the 2013 Pape Clement boasts a dark ruby/plum color along with notes of black currants, mulberries, cherries, graphite, and a hint of white chocolate, medium body, more substance, depth and texture than most of its peers, soft, round tannins, and a straightforward finish. Made from a final blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this wine achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. It can be consumed over the next 10-15 years.
92 James Suckling
The core of fruit is lovely here, with extremely integrated tannins and a mineral, stone and blueberry character. Full body. Bright finish. Earthy and spicy.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Für einmal erstaunlich schlank im Ansatz, kompottige Fruchtnoten, Waldbeeren und Kirschentöne, etwas Schokolade von warmem Merlot, angenehme Röstnoten und feine Kräuternuancen. Im Gaumen halbfüllig, recht saftig, in Innern rote Johannisbeeren und einen säuerlichen, an Weichseln erinnernden Touch zeigend. Erinnert etwas an seinen eigenen 2002er, was ja dann in der Genussreife nicht ganz so schlecht wäre. warten (2019 - 2032)

Ripe and focused, with a beam of cassis and cherry compote, well-layered with ample spice-infused toast. This relies on oak more than acidity but remains sleek and integrated. Should be solid as long as this doesn’t dry out during the [i]élevage[n]. —J.M.
Producer
Château Pape Clément
Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest Grand Cru Classé vineyards in Bordeaux. With a history dating back to the 13th century, the reputable château was established by Bertrand de Goth, the Archbishop of Bordeaux. Decades later, he became Pope in 1305 under the name Clement V, thus the château inherited his name. In 1939, the Montagne family acquired the estate, and it is now owned and run by wine enthusiast, Bernard Magrez. Hidden among the Pessac suburbs, the 32.5-hectare property is predominately dedicated to red wine production, with only 2.5-hectares planted to white varieties. Both wines represent some of the appellations best, the Pape Clément Rouge is a dense but approachable wine, while the small production of Pape Clément Blanc is an elegant, impressively complex, creamy new oak noted white. Today, the Château boasts the finest clarets in Pessac-Léognan, and continues to express with finesse the essence of their terroir.
