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 | "Aromas of rich cherries, cassis, burning embers, violets and dark chocolate introduce the 2020 Pape Clément, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's ripe, layered and generously extracted but also a touch deeper and more reserved than the flashy 2019. While it would be an exaggeration to say that this estate's red wines are making much of a shift in the direction of restraint, the style is certainly less aspirational than it was a decade ago." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Lots of blackberry, iodine and crushed stone here. Some black pepper and graphite, too. Full body and medium, fine tannins that have a powdery texture and open in the mouth. So much going on. Iodine and iron undertones with some raw mushroom bring you back for more. Muscular. This is for the cellar. Drink after 2027." - James Suckling "Very heady, ripe nose. But much more restrained on the palate than some earlier vintages. There is even a hint of minerality! Complete and well balanced. A success." - Jancis Robinson "This is snazzed up with flashy toast, but there's ample mulberry, cassis and plum compote fruit to soak it up, while notes of licorice and sweet spice fill in the background. A late tug of warm earth keeps this grounded. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2028 through 2038." - Wine Spectator "Tannic heft from the get-go, though this does have a lovely fresh, clean and precise core with a narrow, focused frame so the elements come across as quite tight and severe right now but well worked. It has class, no doubt, on the high-toned scale, potent and upfront but there's gorgeous detail and precision to the fruit, acidity and tannins. Slick and classy with lots of glamour that plays to the strengths of the vintage." - Decanter "The 2020 Pape Clément is outrageously beautiful. Dark, virile and imposing, the 2020 is a rare vintage of Pape Clément that is vertical and statuesque in feel. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves infuse the palate with tremendous depth. In a word: magnificent." - Vinous |
