Château Pape Clément er et af Bordeaux’ ældste og mest prestigefyldte vinslotte og er klassificeret som Grand Cru Classé de Graves. Slottet har en historie, der går tilbage til det 13. århundrede, og er kendt for sin kompromisløse tilgang til kvalitet, lave udbytter og ekstremt detaljeret mark- og kælderarbejde.
Årgang 2022 fremstår dyb, koncentreret og bemærkelsesværdigt elegant. Duften byder på intense noter af solbær, brombær og mørke kirsebær, smukt suppleret af nuancer af cedertræ, grafit, kakao og fine krydderier. Smagen er kraftfuld og silkeblød på samme tid med stor dybde, præcise tanniner og en lang, kompleks afslutning. I årgang 2022 består vinen af 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon samt 40 % Merlot.
En stor Pessac-Léognan med både umiddelbar charme og markant lagringspotentiale. Oplagt til oksekød, lam, vildt og raffinerede kødretter.

Black raspberries, cassis, graphite, scorched earth, and violet notes are just some of the nuances in the 2022 Château Pape Clément, a gorgeously textured, layered, seamless 2022. It's flawlessly balanced, has a class of tannins that's second to none, is full-bodied, has terrific concentration, and has a gorgeous finish. This classic, seamless, elegant, sensational layered, multi-dimensional.
James Suckling - 97
A very well-balanced Pape Clement showing a solid structure, concentration and length. Fresh and complex, with a fine streak of minerals and aromas of cassis, berries, white pepper and tapenade. Some wood spices, but they’re quite restrained. Full-bodied, tight and long. A transparent and complete wine for the cellar.

The 2022 Pape Clément is a classy, elegant wine. Soaring aromatics open first. On the palate, the 2022 is vibrant and explosive, with terrific depth and exceptional balance. Today's wines here are simply striking because of their energy and verve. Those qualities help make Pape Clément one of the most changed wines in Bordeaux over the last decade or so. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, new leather and sage are some of the many notes that linger on the sustained finish. The 2022 is a superb Pape Clément.
Decanter - 94
Cool blue fruit, salty stones and liquorice - smells fresh and scented. Ripe and concentrated, the chewy tannins are at the fore, straight away giving the depth and frame while the blueberries and cherries linger in the background with a slight chalky sensation on the tongue. Feels a little less lively than some, more so because the frame is quite imposing, but I do like the muscular style as there's so much definition. Precision and poise but not so immediately accessible. The ending is a bit restricted and it doesn't flow as well as others yet there's no faulting the construction in terms of focus and classicism.
Wine Spectator - 94
Well packed with dark currant, raspberry, plum and red cherry compote notes, all carried by gently singed applewood and cedar notes. Sweet tobacco and a flash of incense fill in on the finish, which has woodsy hints but stays polished and fine-grained overall. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
