Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate August - 2022
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 1989 Pape Clément remains very youthful and goes from strength to strength as it evolves. Offering up a rich bouquet of sweet, smoky berry fruit, loamy soil, black truffles and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with superb depth at the core, ripe but lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. This serious wine is notably underrated.

Blood red color. Good intensity. Bright. Clean nose, medium intensity. Woody, toasted and smoky notes. On swirling, clean, intense and very smoky. Clean and supple attack developing on a round, rich structure that evolves on well-balanced tannins, with a very smoky flavor that currently masks the fruit. Long, flavorful, original and quite complex finish without loss of richness. Has improved considerably since last year.

This has morphed into a very fine, fully mature Bordeaux. The wine features earthy, black fruit and smoke aromas and offers a good palate presence.

Elegant and well made. Color is medium-dark ruby. Aromas of dried cherries and licorice. Full-bodied and well structured, with compacted velvety tannins and a long aftertaste of chocolate and fruit and hints of earth.1989 Bordeaux horizontal.

Château Château Pape Clement
Château Pape Clement

Château Pape Clément is one of the major historic estates of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. Its history begins at the end of the 13th century, when Bertrand de Goth, future Pope Clement V, bequeathed his vineyard to the Archdiocese of Bordeaux. This direct link to the papacy gives the estate a unique heritage depth, making Château Pape Clément one of the oldest Bordeaux estates still in operation.

Classified as Grand Cru Classé de Graves in the official 1953 classification (revised in 1959), Château Pape Clément has established itself as an essential reference among the great wines of Pessac-Léognan, both in red and white. The vineyard, located at the gates of Bordeaux, sits on deep gravel soils mixed with clay and sand, favoring a refined and complex expression of Bordeaux grape varieties.

The grape varieties are primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the reds, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, while the whites rely on Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Château Pape Clément's wines are distinguished by their aromatic intensity, silky texture and balance between power and elegance.

Recognized for their great aging potential, the estate's wines traverse decades with ease. Emblematic vintages such as Pape Clément 2005, Pape Clément 2001, Pape Clément 1998, Pape Clément 2000, Pape Clément blanc 2012, Pape Clément 2010 or Pape Clément 2003 illustrate the consistent quality and the unique position of Château Pape Clément among Bordeaux's great collectible wines.
