Description
The Château Pape Clement Blanc is one of the highest rated white Graves. Pale straw yellow in the glass, the wine has tropical notes of warm pineapple, fresh mango and green guava on the nose, plus hints of nutmeg, orange blossom, lanolin and mineral notes. Full, rich and seductive, absolutely laden with layers of tropical fruit and spice, with a spicy line to support it and a long, lush finish. The Pape Clement Blanc is a blend of 57% Sauvignon Blanc, 39% Sémillon and 4% Muscadelle. The wine is matured for 16 months in 55% new and 45% 2nd year French oak barrels.
