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, it is absolutely laden with layers of tropical fruit and spice, with a spicy backbone to support it and a long, lush finish. The Pape Clement Blanc is a blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon and 3% Sauvignon Gris. The wine is matured for 16 months in 55% new and 45% 2nd year French oak barrels.

May 2021 Week 3, The Wine Advocate
Pape Clement's 2020 Blanc leaps from the glass with gregarious notions of fresh pink grapefruit, Bosc pears and lime blossoms with hints of coriander seed, yuzu zest and white pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers fantastically intense citrus and pear flavors with a racy backbone and silky texture, finishing long and fragrant. The blend this year is 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon and 3% Sauvignon Gris, with anticipated bottling projected to be taking place on December 14 and 15, 2021. The alcohol is 13.5%.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Pape Clément Blanc has a bright nose with scents of orchard fruit, orange pith and lime cordial scents, well defined and focused. The palate is fresh and mineral-driven, quite taut, much less oaky than other vintages and displaying more terroir towards the finish. One of the best whites from this estate that I have tasted. Tasted three times with consistent notes.
