Description

Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest properties in Bordeaux. The
vineyard was first planted in the 13th century by Bertrand de Goth, the youngest son of a noble family from Bordeaux.

He was the Archbishop of Bordeaux and became Pope in 1305, then took the name of Clément V. The vineyard was run by the Bordeaux Archbishopry until the French Revolution. The estate can take pride in the production of wine in the same vineyards for over 7 centuries

Tasting

Eye : The wine is a dense ruby red colour with brown, mahogany and tile tints. Brilliance and limpidity are preserved. The disk is quite thick. The tears are fine and well marked, abundant and regular.

Nose : It seems both expressive, frank and complex. One notes all sorts of fragrance families: fruit, floral, and spice.

Palate : The attack is frank, round and suave, even caressing. Intense aromas first recall the complex sensations perceived on the nose. There is a scent of leather and slightly burnt wood, and notes of roasting. The beauty of the vintage reveals elegance rather than volume. The wine shows a beautiful aromatic amplitude. As for the finish, it is remarkably elegant.
