The Château Pape Clément 2016 is a profound and impeccably balanced wine from one of Bordeaux’s greatest modern vintages. The nose is layered and precise, revealing blackcurrant, ripe plum, graphite, and cedar, with notes of tobacco leaf, cocoa, and subtle floral accents. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with ultra-fine tannins and a vibrant acid spine that give clarity and lift. Flavors of cassis, dark cherry, balsamic nuances, and savory mineral tones unfold with depth and composure. The texture is seamless and polished, combining richness with restraint. The finish is long, resonant, and elegant—an outstanding Pape Clément built for long-term evolution and graceful aging.

Chateau Pape Clement is one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most prestigious estates, with origins dating back to the 13th century and a storied history in Pessac-Léognan. Under the modern stewardship of Bernard Magrez, the château has undergone a meticulous renaissance focused on precision viticulture, severe selection, and refined élevage. The gravelly, well-drained soils favor Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, yielding wines of depth, aromatic complexity, and structure. Winemaking blends tradition with state-of-the-art techniques, emphasizing balance and purity rather than excess. Pape Clément is known for its polished, expressive style that still respects terroir. Its top vintages rival the appellation’s finest classified growths.
