The inimitable style of an iconic Graves Grand Cru Classé
Bearing witness to a rich winemaking tradition built over more than 7 centuries of history, Château du Papa Clemente is one of the oldest Grand Crus in the Bordeaux region.
Having become a true icon, Château Pape Clément represents the quintessence of the Bordeaux style, with exceptional and luxurious wines that immediately seduce in their youth while evolving superbly with time.
Tending to a 63ha vineyard located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Pape Clément benefits from an exceptional terroir, combining gravelly-sandy soils and clay-limestone soils on a limestone subsoil rich in iron.
A true flagship of the visionary Bernard Magrez, Château Pape Clément has managed to harmoniously combine respect for tradition and oenological know-how with the right dose of innovative modernism (a drone is used, in particular, to monitor the evolution of the plots), in order to give this land of great wines every opportunity to give its best.
Resulting from a blend that combines Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) and Merlot (45%), Château Pape Clément Rouge 2017 brilliantly translates this uncompromising and constant search for excellence.
From the grapes to the cellar, nothing was left to chance to reveal the most beautiful expression of this exceptional terroir and Château Pape Clément red 2017 showcases the profile of its vintage, preserving the identity that is the house’s signature. Openness and power on the nose for a complex aromatic profile, structure and density on the palate without losing finesse, Pape Clément quite simply.
