Chateau Pape Clement Grand Cru Classe de Graves 2019

A great vintage! One of the most beautiful chteau of Pessac-Lognan wines. This wine is of commendable quality, being simultaneously concentrated, fine and harmonious, with a palate that’s as broad as it is precise. We find aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black tea, smoked earth and gingerbread on the nose. Chteau Pape Clment displays the stunning diversity of its terroir. Its 60 hectares of vineyard are made up of a mixture of soils from sandy gravel to clay-limestone, and its limestone subsoil is rich in iron. This great wine is aged for 18 months in barrels, of which 60% are new. It has a sharp attack that’s soft and rounded, even caressing. The tannins are close and tight, promising a good future to come. Good ageing potential.
