Description

Chateau Pape Clement Pessac Leognan Blanc 2022

Founded in 1252, Chteau Pape Clment is one of the oldest Grand Crus in Bordeaux. The estate owes its name to Bertrand de Goth, Archbishop of Bordeaux, who became Pope Clement V in 1305. Since 1983, Bernard Magrez, owner of 4 Grand Cru Classs in Bordeaux, has devoted all his efforts to raising Chteau Pape Clment to the rank of Bordeaux’s elite Grand Crus.

The weather in 2022 was characterised by a mild, wet winter, followed by a warm, dry spring despite an early frost spell. The summer was dry and sunny, enabling the grapes to be harvested between 28 August and 2 September.

Chteau Pape Clment Blanc 2022 is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 1% Muscadelle. This Chteau Pape Clment Blanc 2022 stands out for its freshness and complexity. The wine is a golden colour with green highlights. Delicate nose of citrus fruit, white flowers and exotic fruit. Rich and full-bodied, with notes of grapefruit, pear and white peach, as well as hints of hazelnut, brioche and sweet spices. The finish is long and elegant.
