2015 Château Pape Clement Blanc Pessac-Léognan Blanc

The 2015 Château Pape Clément Blanc is a white Bordeaux wine from the famous Pessac-Léognan appellation, produced by the historic Château Pape Clément, known for its exceptional red and white wines. This white wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc , Sémillon , and sometimes a small addition of Sauvignon Gris or Muscadelle , which gives the wine additional complexity and texture.
