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.

With its magnificent red color and slightly evolved tints, this Grand Vin from the Pessac Léognan appellation has a charming, gourmet nose. We find aromas of wild berries, but also notes of sweet spices, cooking and undergrowth. A hint of licorice adds freshness after a few minutes' aeration. On the palate, it expresses its power from the outset. The straight, racy body has velvety, perfectly integrated tannins. Smoky aromas make themselves felt, accompanied by delicious fruity notes that linger long into the finish.
