    Superb aromas of blackberries, crushed stones, iodine and graphite. Full-bodied with ultra fine tannins and a balanced finish. Such length and beauty. Very close to the 2019 in quality.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Pape Clement comes barreling out of the glass with bold notes of cassis, plum preserves and licorice, giving way to scents of cedar chest, crushed rocks, charcoal and pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly coiled with beautiful tension and a firm, finely grained texture locking in the layers of black fruits and minerals, finishing with great length and energy. The blend this year is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, aging mainly in French oak barrels, 66% new, with about 10% aging in large oak barrels. The wine will spend approximately 18 months in barrels. Drinking window: 2028 – 2060. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

    Dark purple color with violet hue and black core. Expressive nose with aroma reminiscent of blackcurrants and blackberries, hints of graphite and pencil shavings, discreet toasting in the background. On the palate juicy and well structured with ripe and juicy fruit, balanced tannins and elegant acidity, freshness in the aftertaste, a wine with excellent length.

Intense and complex bouquet, notes of black cherries, blackberries and redcurrants.

Palate

It presents itself with body, a little fat and tannins which slowly reveal themselves on the finish. It evolves, showing a beautiful fruity and woody note, and reveals itself to be more and more noble.

Château Pape Clément

The story begins in 1305 when Bertrand de Got, known as Pope Clement V, became the owner of Château Pape Clément, located in Pessac on the outskirts of Bordeaux. The 63 ha vineyard extends over a mixture of gravelly-sandy soils, clay-limestone soils and limestone subsoil rich in iron.
