Since the late 90s, Pessac-Léognan estate Château Pape Clément has had an extraordinary run of form and is one of the most consistent producers in the appellation. The 2001 is a marvellous release from a vintage that forever lives in the shadow of its more celebrated predecessor but, in its own right, was high in quality. It is wonderfully perfumed, rich with fruit and sumptuously textured.

The 2001 Pape Clément has a splendid nose, ripe and forward and more complex than the 2000, featuring a mixture of red and black fruit, sprigs of fresh mint, menthol and juniper, all nicely focused and finely delineated. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins matched with a fine bead of acidity. Silky-smooth and persistent, it caresses the mouth with notes of white pepper and mulberry. This was burly and tannic in its youth but has since softened. It’s drinking well at this moment and will do so for another 20 years. Very fine. Aged for 18 months entirely in new oak.Neal Martin1st September 2021
