Situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Graves, Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, dating back to the 13th century. The 36-hectare property is on a combination of gravel-sand and clay-limestone soils, with a chalky subsoil rich in iron. The Pape Clément Blanc is typically a blend of several grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with possible additions of Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris. Expect aromas of citrus fruits, tropical notes, honey, and a subtle touch of oak.

The 2005 Pape Clément Blanc is creamy, rich and expansive. Tangerine oil, coconut, passionfruit, spice and honey are all kicked up a few notches. This is a decidedly flamboyant white with a ton of new oak, which comes through both in the wine’s flavor profile and overall feel. I find the 2005 a bit heavy, and would prefer to drink any remaining bottles soon, as the astringency from the oak is only going to become more prominent over time.Antonio Galloni1st April 2021
