| Over het wijnhuis | Château Pape Clément, gevestigd in Pessac-Léognan, is vernoemd naar een Paus. Paus Clément V was namelijk groot wijnliefhebber en had niet alleen een vinger in de pap bij de ontwikkeling van Châteauneuf-du-Pape, maar was begin 1300 ook eigenaar van Domaine de la Mothe, de voorloper van Château Pape Clément. Met een geschiedenis van 750 jaar is Château Pape Clément niet meer weg te denken uit de wijnwereld. |

| Awards | "Revealing aromas of blueberries, cassis, spring flowers and toasty new oak, the 2022 Pape Clément is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a rich, layered core of super-ripe fruit framed by liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the firm, lavishly oaky finish. This is a flamboyant, unabashedly modern-styled Pape Clément that will need several years in the cellar to blossom. It's a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A very well-balanced Pape Clement showing a solid structure, concentration and length. Fresh and complex, with a fine streak of minerals and aromas of cassis, berries, white pepper and tapenade. Some wood spices, but they’re quite restrained. Full-bodied, tight and long. A transparent and complete wine for the cellar. Try after 2028." - James Suckling "60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep crimson. Fragrant black fruit. Lead pencil rather than leafy and rich in cassis. Nicely dry texture, firm tannins harmoniously woven with the fruit. Chewy, long, rather majestic. (JH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Pape Clément is a classy, elegant wine. Soaring aromatics open first. On the palate, the 2022 is vibrant and explosive, with terrific depth and exceptional balance. Today's wines here are simply striking because of their energy and verve. Those qualities help make Pape Clément one of the most changed wines in Bordeaux over the last decade or so. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, new leather and sage are some of the many notes that linger on the sustained finish. The 2022 is a superb Pape Clément. Tasted three times." - Vinous "Well-packed with dark currant, raspberry, plum and cherry compote notes, all carried by gently singed apple wood and cedar. Sweet tobacco and a flash of incense fill in on the finish, which offers woodsy hints but stays polished and fine-grained overall. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2028 through 2040." - Wine Spectator "Cool blue fruit, salty stones and liquorice - smells fresh and scented. Ripe and concentrated, the chewy tannins are at the fore, straight away giving the depth and frame while the blueberries and cherries linger in the background with a slight chalky sensation on the tongue. Feels a little less lively than some, more so because the frame is quite imposing, but I do like the muscular style as there's so much definition. Precision and poise but not so immediately accessible. The ending is a bit restricted and it doesn't flow as well as others yet there's no faulting the construction in terms of focus and classicism." - Decanter |
