Produced by the prestigious Grand Cru Classé Château Pape Clément, the Clémentin de Pape reveals all the typicality of a white wine from Graves.
The Clémentin de Pape Clément White 2018 comes from a vineyard located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The Clémentin de Pape Clément white 2018 is made from Sauvignon Blanc (83%), supplemented by Sémillon (15%) and Sauvignon Gris (2%).
The wine is vinified with whole bunch pressing. The juices are drained by gravity, directly from the press into barrels. The wines are then aged on fine lees in French oak barrels and in cement eggs.
The fruit of a very good vintage for the Bordeaux region, the Clémentin de Pape Clément Blanc 2018 offers the experience of a great white wine of Graves, bearing the signature style of Bernard Magrez.
The 2018 Clémentin de Pape Clement Blanc has gregarious lime juice, lemon meringue pie and ripe peach scents with hints of crushed rocks, wet slate and dill seed. Medium to full-bodied, it has a pleasant oiliness to the texture and oodles of freshness supporting the generous citrus fruit, finishing long.
