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.

The wine has an elegant, ruby-colored, very bright appearance. The nose reveals delicate aromas of flowers, ripe red fruits such as redcurrant and cherry, and woody nuances. After aeration, more tertiary notes of tobacco and mocha appear, revealing the wine's richness and depth. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and refined. The tannins are mellow and velvety, giving the wine a harmonious and balanced structure. The ripe fruit flavors mingle with toasted and spicy notes, with an acidity that ensures freshness and tension. The finish is long and persistent, with beautiful nuances of dark chocolate and graphite, a sign of a wine that is already harmonious but capable of continuing to evolve.
