Omschrijving
De Château Pape Clement Blanc is een van de hoogst beoordeelde witte Graves. Lich strogeel in het glas heeft de wijn in de neus tropische tonen van warme ananas, verse mango en groene guave plus hints van nootmuskaat, oranjebloesem, lanoline en minerale tonen. Vol, rijk en verleidelijk, absoluut beladen met laagjes tropisch fruit en kruiden, met een pittige lijn ter ondersteuning en een lange, weelderige afdronk. De Pape Clement Blanc is een blend van 57% Sauvignon Blanc, 39% Sémillon en 4% Muscadelle. De wijn heeft 16 maanden gerijpt in 55% nieuwe en 45% 2e jaars Franse eiken vaten.

April 2022 Week 1, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Pape Clément has turned out well in bottle, delivering a rich bouquet of cherries, blackcurrants, plum liqueur and blackberries mingled with notions of burning embers, licorice and a nicely integrated framing of new oak. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's a layered, fleshy wine, with a deep core of ripe but lively fruit, plenty of powdery tannin and a long, expansive, discreetly heady finish. This is a powerful, dramatic Pessac with a transatlantic accent and will drink well with only a few years' bottle age.
This 32.5-hectare estate is surrounded by the city of Bordeaux, not far from Haut-Brion. In the vineyards, farming is thoughtful, with Esca-infected vines counted and registered by tractor, and both horses and an electric tractor are employed to avoid compacting the soils—and to respect the neighboring dwellings. While the château isn't organic, the use of chemical products is kept to a minimum, and activity in the estate's beehives is monitored immediately after a treatment to verify that there hasn't been any adverse impact. Planted in red with roughly equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and in white with roughly equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, Pape Clément produces some of Pessac-Léognan's richest, most dramatic wines, though recent years have seen a discreet turn toward a somewhat more restrained style, a shift especially obvious in the château's white wine: Merlot is picked a touch earlier than in the past; foudres and large-format oak barrels now supplement 225-liter barriques; and the percentage of new oak is more modest. The style remains, however, rather oaky and extracted—the aesthetic, in other words, of the early 2000s. With a talented technical team in place and a superb terroir that's beautifully maintained, I suspect that could easily change.

From: Omne Trium Perfectum: Bordeaux 2019s in Bottle (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Pape Clément Blanc is aged in French oak barrels and concrete eggs. The nose offers delicate scents of wild peach and Nashi pear, opening to reveal hints of apricot blossom; a light chamomile aroma emerges with time. The palate is very well balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine bead of acidity, good weight and a judicious touch of spice on the finish. Excellent.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Pape Clément Blanc is a hard wine to read. In 2019, the Blanc is rather airy and ethereal, which is to say quite different from the more unctuous style Bernard Magrez once favored here. At the same time, though, the wine also feels disjointed and a bit elusive. I admire its freshness and energy, and yet also wish it had a bit more depth.

From: 2019 Bordeaux: A Long, Strange Trip (Jun, 2020)
The 2019 Pape Clément Blanc is rich and creamy, but also restrained. Jasmine, green pear and white pepper add pretty aromatic top notes. With good texture and depth, the 2019 is not as rich or heavy as it can be, and that is a good thing. Tasted two times.
