Pape Clement Rouge Grand Cru Classé De Graves Pessac-Léognan - Methusalem 6L, 2022

Château Pape Clément Rouge Grand Cru Classé de Graves is one of Pessac-Léognan’s most distinguished wines, here presented in an impressive Methuselah 6L format. From the celebrated 2022 vintage, it combines the refinement expected of a historic classified growth with the depth and presence that make large-format bottles especially appealing for long-term cellaring or special occasions.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 vintage is expected to show a deep, concentrated color with an elegant yet powerful profile. Aromas typically unfold in layers of dark berries, cassis, ripe plum, cedar, tobacco, and fine oak spice, supported by a graphite-like mineral edge that is characteristic of great Bordeaux from Graves. On the palate, the wine is usually structured, polished, and generous, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, balanced finish. The Methuselah format will help preserve freshness and slow evolution, making this an excellent choice for aging; with proper cellaring, it should continue to develop complexity over many years.

Production
Produced in Pessac-Léognan, one of Bordeaux’s most respected terroirs, Château Pape Clément benefits from gravelly soils that provide excellent drainage and help deliver concentration and finesse. The estate’s vineyards are typically managed with careful parcel selection and meticulous harvesting, aiming to capture optimal ripeness while preserving freshness. Vinification is traditionally precise and quality-driven, with fermentation and ageing in oak to build structure, depth, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with prime rib, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, truffle dishes, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully and show its full aromatic range.
