Château Pape Clément

The Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest properties in the Bordeaux vineyard, with seven centuries of history and born of the passion of a pope. It was at the end of the 13th century that Bertrand de Goth received from his brother Bréaud de Goth, as a gift for his appointment as archbishop of Bordeaux, a property located in Pessac planted with vines. 

Bertrand de Goth was elected Pope in 1305 and took the name Clement V. He renamed his Domaine Pope Clement. 

Grand Cru Classé in red in the 1953 Graves classification, Domaine has belonged to Bordeaux businessman Bernard Magrez since 1983. With determination and passion, he has led Pape Clément into the sphere of the greatest Bordeaux wines. Respect for the environment, the use of drones to follow the evolution of the vines, made-to-measure vinification, from the vine to the cellar nothing is left to chance to ensure that the potential of this exceptional terroir is expressed.

Le Château Pape Clément is a 63-hectare vineyard planted on an exceptional hilltop of Pyrenean gravel.

Description Le Clémentin de Pape Clément 2018.

With its superb garnet-red, almost black color, the wine emerges from its glass case with scents of fresh fruit: cherry, raspberry but also, plum. The bouquet becomes more complex with notes of cedar and graphite. The palate is splendid. Straightforward from the outset, it evolves on a lively, fresh body. The silky, perfectly chiselled tannic structure supports aromas centered on freshness and delicacy. The lingering finish makes this wine a delight for the taste buds. No doubt it will improve even more with age.
