Description
The Château Pape Clement Rouge Grand Cru Classé de Graves has put a very fine wine on the map with its 2019 vintage and is now approaching the Premier Crus in terms of level (fortunately not yet in terms of price, but this will certainly happen). This flagship of the empire of Mr. Bernard Magrez is completely destemming by hand, berry by berry, and only the berries with an intact skin are used in the wine. A gigantic cost in personnel (more than 20 people for destemming), but with an extraordinary result.
The Pape Clement Rouge is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon & 50% Merlot and has matured for 18 months in oak barriques of which 60% is new and the rest 2nd year oak. In the glass the Pape Clement has a deep garnet red color with a purple hue. The Pape Clement needs some oxygen but then slowly unfolds with notes of fragrant earth, crushed rocks, iron ore and tobacco which then turns into red and black berries, cherry, roses and black tea. Full and wonderfully lively it is medium to full bodied with firm and fine-grained tannins and an astonishing freshness, very long (mineral) finish.
With its smoky and spicy bouquet, the red Pape cCement is of admirable quality and a very characteristic softness. The wine is both concentrated, fine and harmonious, with an aromatic palette that is as broad as it is precise. The depth and length in the mouth are exceptional. The quality of the terroir, sustained efforts and dynamism have paid off, bringing Pape Clément to a level very close to that of the premiers crus. The recent assessment of the international wine press also confirms this

Revealing aromas of blueberries, cassis, spring flowers and toasty new oak, the 2022 Pape Clément is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a rich, layered core of super-ripe fruit framed by liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the firm, lavishly oaky finish. This is a flamboyant, unabashedly modern-styled Pape Clément that will need several years in the cellar to blossom. It's a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.

97-98
This is a very structured 2022 with powerful tannins that run the length of the wine. Yet it’s perfumed and fresh with flowers and subtle undertones of stone. Pure. It’s full but not heavy with backbone and structure. Lots of crushed stone and currants. One of the most transparent you Pape’s I have tasted. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon.

The history of Château Pape Clément is one of the longest and most fascinating of all French wine estates. Pape Clément is one of the best Grands Crus of Bordeaux and is located in Pessac, in the Graves. It is named after its famous owner Pope Clemens V. Bertrand de Goth, from 1305 the first pope to sit in Avignon under the name of Clemens V, became Archbishop of Bordeaux in 1299 and on this occasion received the existing wine estate, which he then greatly expanded . Clemens' papal name is the reason the château inherited that same name and the wine became an icon.
After his departure to Avignon, the winery remained the property of the Archdiocese of Bordeaux. Since this period, the estate has remained well managed for five centuries. The limited production was mainly reserved for use by the Archdiocese itself. During the French Revolution, the château became public domain but was also successfully expanded. The wines were sold through clear management of the owners at the same prices as the 2ième Grand Crus Classés from the Medoc.
In the 1980s, Bernard Magrez, visionary and passionate wine lover, took over the chateau and made its reputation even greater. Bernard Magrez has used all possible means to ensure that the exceptional terroir of Pape Clément, which has made the wines so famous and gives them their extraordinary finesse, continues to express itself as strongly as possible.
