“This drapes an alluring cape of bitter almond and warmed brioche over a core of lemon curd, white peach and shortbread. Subtle notes of jasmine oil, elderflower and honeysuckle add range through the finish, where there's a long, subtle twinge of quinine buried deeply. The hedonist's white Bordeaux. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Best from 2026 through 2032.”

-JM. February 5, 2025

Highlights

70% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 1% Muscadelle from Château Pape Clément (estate founded 1252), harvested 28 August–2 September after a mild, wet winter and a warm, dry spring; vinified to preserve freshness and complexity. Golden with green highlights; delicate citrus, white flowers and exotic fruit on the nose, rich and full-bodied with grapefruit, pear and white peach, hints of hazelnut, brioche and sweet spices, and a long, elegant finish.

Chateau Pape Clement Pessac Leognan Blanc 2022

Founded in 1252, Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest Grand Crus in Bordeaux. The estate owes its name to Bertrand de Goth, Archbishop of Bordeaux, who became Pope Clement V in 1305. Since 1983, Bernard Magrez, owner of 4 Grand Cru Classés in Bordeaux, has devoted all his efforts to raising Château Pape Clément to the rank of Bordeaux's elite Grand Crus.

The weather in 2022 was characterised by a mild, wet winter, followed by a warm, dry spring despite an early frost spell. The summer was dry and sunny, enabling the grapes to be harvested between 28 August and 2 September.

Château Pape Clément Blanc 2022 is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 1% Muscadelle. This Château Pape Clément Blanc 2022 stands out for its freshness and complexity. The wine is a golden colour with green highlights. Delicate nose of citrus fruit, white flowers and exotic fruit. Rich and full-bodied, with notes of grapefruit, pear and white peach, as well as hints of hazelnut, brioche and sweet spices. The finish is long and elegant.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
