Stunning concentration of perfectly ripe blackcurrants here with a delicate whiff of vanilla oak and extremely fine tannins that are almost perfectly integrated on the seductive and delicate palate, right through the almost literally breathtaking, super-long and very polished finish. Try from 2022.
96 Robert Parker
Blended of 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Pape Clement has a deep garnet-purple color and quite a serious, earthy nose with truffles, tilled soil, underbrush and smoked meats over a cassis, baked plums and redcurrants core plus a touch of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy, the palate is built like a brick house, supporting muscular black fruit and earthy notions and finishing very long and mineral laced.
96 Wine Spectator
This takes a slightly different tack than many of its Pessac colleagues, relying less on bramble and tar and more on alluring toast, with mocha, anise, wood spice and black tea notes draped liberally over the core of sappy kirsch and cherry preserve flavors. Plush and suave through the finish, though this needs a bit of time for the wood elements to be fully integrated with the fruit. For fans of the flashier, cashmere-textured style. Best from 2023 through 2037. 12,500 cases made. — JM

Château Pape Clément
Château Pape Clément è uno dei più antichi vigneti Grand Cru Classé di Bordeaux. Con una storia che risale al XIII secolo, l'illustre Château fu fondato da Bertrand de Goth, l'arcivescovo di Bordeaux che, alcuni decenni dopo, nel 1305, divenne Papa con il nome di Clemente V. Lo Château ereditò così il suo nome. Nel 1939 la famiglia Montagne acquistò la tenuta, che ora è di proprietà di un cultore del vino, Bernard Magrez. Nascosta tra i sobborghi di Pessac, la proprietà di 32,5 ettari produce soprattutto vini rossi, con solo 2,5 ettari piantati con vitigni a bacca bianca. Entrambi i vini rappresentano il meglio delle denominazioni: il Pape Clément Rouge è un vino denso ma accessibile, mentre la piccola produzione di Pape Clément Blanc è un bianco elegante, decisamente complesso, con note cremose di legno nuovo. Oggi lo Château vanta i migliori claret di Pessac-Léognan e continua a esprimere l'essenza del terroir con eleganza.
