Chateau Pape Clement Pessac Leognan Rouge Grand Cru Classe de Graves 2022

Château Pape Clément is one of the great names of Pessac-Léognan, offering a Grand Cru Classé de Graves red that captures the depth, refinement, and longevity Bordeaux is famous for. Founded in 1252, the estate brings centuries of winemaking heritage to a modern expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby-red colour, hinting at its concentration and structure. The nose is generous and layered, with aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and ripe blackberry lifted by nuances of liquorice and cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a rich core of dark fruit, polished tannins, and impressive persistence. This is a wine built for evolution, with excellent ageing potential that should reward time in bottle with added complexity and finesse.

Production
Produced in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, Château Pape Clément benefits from one of the region’s most respected terroirs, where gravel-rich soils help shape wines of power, precision, and elegance. The grapes are typically harvested carefully to preserve ripeness and freshness, then vinified with a focus on extracting depth while maintaining balance and structure.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with roast lamb, beef fillet, game, duck breast, and dishes with mushroom or truffle accents. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to fully open.

Producer
Château Pape Clément is among Bordeaux’s oldest estates, with origins dating back to 1252 and a long-standing reputation for excellence in Graves. As a historic Grand Cru Classé de Graves, it remains one of the benchmark producers of Pessac-Léognan, celebrated for wines of depth, elegance, and remarkable ageing capacity.
