About this wine
Château Pape-Clément Cru Classé, Pessac-Léognan
Château Pape-Clément located in Pessac-Léognan is part of Bernard Magrez’s stable of estates. The 32.5 ha vineyard is planted to cabernet sauvignon and merlot on gravel, sandy and clay soils. Fruit is handpicked and hand sorted before undergoing a cool pre-ferment maceration and whole berry fermentation in wooden vats. Each parcel is fermented separately. The wines are manually punched down and run off into 100% new French oak barriques where they mature for 18-20 months. Bernard Magrez is credited with turning around quality at the Château, including introducing rigourous vineyard selection and implementing state-of-the art winemaking. As a result, Château Pape-Clément is now considered one of the finest producers in Pessac-Léognan.

Jane Anson
Sweet damson fruit, concentration through the mid palate that balances out the austerity on the opening. These are tannins with ageing ability. Harvest September 23 through to October 11. 50% new oak, with the rest between larger oak casks, one year old oak and amphora. Bernard Magrez owner, Julien Viaud consultant. 60ha today, did get as high as 90ha but they are back to focusing on the original Pauillac vineyards boht for the red and white wines.

Wine Advocate
A smoky, oaky bouquet of spices, incense and dark berries prefaces the 2024 Pape Clément, a moderately weighted, supple and open-knit palate built around tangy acids and brittle tannins.

James Suckling
A rich wine for this vintage, showing roasted spices and some dark chocolate to the blackcurrants, pine cones and berries. Sour cherries with sharp acidity and nicely chewy tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Good structure and length.
