Château Pape Clément

Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest Grands Crus of Bordeaux. His vineyard - the first harvests took place in 1252 - was implemented in the XIIth century by Bertrand de Goth, younger of a noble family from Bordeaux region. Archbishop of Bordeaux, Bertrand de Got became Pope in 1305 under the name of Clement V. This is where the Château inherited its name from and its wine became an icon.

Tasting Notes

The 2024 Pape Clément Blanc is full-bodied, bold, and finely structured. Notes of grass, peach, and lime citrus are layered with buttery oak, cereal tones, and a touch of vanilla. Bright acidity and firm minerality bring tension and balance to the wine’s generous weight. The finish is long, poised, and classic, refined and powerful in equal measure.

Vinification

The grapes are whole-bunch pressed in modern Vaslin presses after cold maceration, then gravity-fed into a mix of oak vats, concrete eggs, steel tanks, and barrels for fermentation. The wine spends time on fine lees for added texture and is aged for 12 months in a combination of 50% oak barrels, of which one third is new, along with foudres, concrete, and stainless steel.
