In a few words ...
clementin de pape clément, second wine of chateau pape clément, is owned by bernard magrez. More affordable than its predecessor, it is also a great tasting experience, and is served at some of France's finest Michelin-starred restaurants. It is a blend of only 2 grape varieties: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. The communes of Pessac belong to the large Graves production area. The poor, gravelly soil produces very delicate, full-bodied, fruity wines. 1987 was a good vintage. The summer was very hot, but heavy rainfall during the harvest made for a difficult vintage. The winemakers had to select the bunches. The wines were fruity, elegant and supple.
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
