Over het wijnhuis | Château Pape Clément, gevestigd in Pessac-Léognan, is vernoemd naar een Paus. Paus Clément V was namelijk groot wijnliefhebber en had niet alleen een vinger in de pap bij de ontwikkeling van Châteauneuf-du-Pape, maar was begin 1300 ook eigenaar van Domaine de la Mothe, de voorloper van Château Pape Clément. Met een geschiedenis van 750 jaar is Château Pape Clément niet meer weg te denken uit de wijnwereld. |

Awards | "Offering up notes of crisp nectarine, lemongrass and white flowers, the 2020 Pape Clément Blanc is medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with bright acids, attractive purity of fruit and a long, aromatic finish. This is the most elegant white wine produced by this estate over the last decade, and it has turned out well in bottle." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "I like the richness and focus to this with sliced cooked apple, lemon and light toffee character. Candied pineapple. Hints of meringue. Full-bodied and layered. Really delicious and flavorful now with a solid balance of phenolic structure. Classy. Agile. Drink after 2025 but hard to stay away." - James Suckling "62% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Sémillon, 4% Sauvignon Gris, 1% Muscadelle. No details of ageing given but there does seem to be a bit of sweet, spicy oak. Big and bold – needs big, bold food! At the moment it’s unknit and very slightly oily but once it all settles down it could be a really interesting partner to some dramatic dish. Not for drinking as an aperitif though! The acidity seems a little lower than in some of its peers." - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Pape Clément Blanc has a bright nose with scents of orchard fruit, orange pith and lime cordial scents, well defined and focused. The palate is fresh and mineral-driven, quite taut, much less oaky than other vintages and displaying more terroir towards the finish. One of the best whites from this estate that I have tasted. Tasted three times with consistent notes." - Vinous "This is a step up, as it's larger in scale, brighter and more defined than most of its brethren, featuring long tarragon and thyme threads that pull gooseberry, star fruit and white peach notes along. Offers lots of energy through the finish, which ripples with sel gris and oyster shell echoes offset by a hint of salted butter. Really gorgeous. Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Sauvignon Gris. Best from 2024 through 2032." - Wine Spectator "Bright and high acidity gives this a shot of life and energy as soon as it reaches the palate. Focused and full with lively citrus fruit but not massive acidity, the oak is covering up a little of the overt joy at the moment, just restricting the expression slightly and causing some tension and tightness on the mid-palate. Lovely persistence with caramel, toast, vanilla and clove aside orange zest, lemon and lime." - Decanter |
