The 2016 Pape Clement Blanc is a flamboyantly scented blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Semillon, 9% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Muscadelle. It bounds from the glass with ripe notes of peach, grapefruit, lime zest, honeysuckle and toast. Despite its inherent richness it is superbly tempered by a fine vein of racy acidity to give brilliant vibrancy, freshness and potential longevity.

The 2016 Pape Clément Blanc has a lighter bouquet than the Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, but it is still well defined and unfurls nicely in the glass to offer orange blossom, pineapple and light candle wax aromas. The palate is well balanced with a dab of ginger on the entry. There is a fine waxy texture here, hints of rhubarb and lemongrass furnishing a finish that just needs a little more persistence. Not bad at all. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin1st August 2020
