2018 Chateau Pape Clement

Tasting notes:

The nose is signature Pape Clément: smoky, spicy and beautifully expressive. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet silky, combining purity of dark fruit with precise notes of spice, cedar and mineral lift. It feels harmonious and polished, with exceptional depth and a long, elegant finish. A testament to great terroir and meticulous work in both vineyard and cellar, this cuvée sits impressively close to premier cru quality.

Producer description:

A flagship estate of Pessac-Léognan, Château Pape Clément has crafted another outstanding wine in 2018. From 67 hectares in Pessac and Gradignan, the fruit for the grand vin was meticulously selected through multiple vineyard passes and manual sorting before gentle gravity-led vinification.
