The 2012 Château Pape Clément comprises a blend dominated by 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by 46% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Its aromatic profile includes notes of earth, red plum, currants, forest floor, and herbs. Well-balanced and full-bodied, the wine exhibits moderate tannins and abundant fruit. Flavors of red fruit, iron, and tobacco linger on the palate, culminating in a lengthy finish.

The 2012 Pape Clement is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet colored, it charges out with plum preserves, blackcurrant pastilles, and raspberry leaves scents with touches of cedar chest and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit coating the mid palate and soft tannins, it finishes with a lively lift.Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023

Tertiary notes of leather, earth, truffle, blueberry and raspberry fruits. Enjoyable, but more evolved than the last time I tasted this vintage ex-cellar. It's an enjoyable wine, soft and sappy, and easy to recommend. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant.Jane Anson30th March 2022

The 2012 Pape Clément has quite a high-toned bouquet with liquorice-infused red fruit, violet and camphor emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannins, high-toned and slightly volatile towards the heady finish. This needs calming down. After tasting blind at Southwold, a second bottle at the Bordeaux Index did nothing to alter my view about this Pessac-Léognan. Neal Martin27th September 2022
