Château Pape Clément, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac Léognan

Notes

Inky depths to the colour, barely budging at 11 years old. This is excellent, showing the incredible potential of this site. Everything is delivered slowly and carefully, plenty of tannic grip, very little evolution in the expression, the whole thing inching forward. A ton of liqourice and slate, with the smoke and grilled herb quality that you find so often in Pape Clement, alongside layer upon complex layer of graphite, pencil lead, cassis and marzipan. 100% new oak. Michel Rolland consultant. Harvest September 24 to October 20, slow and steady with a yield of 32hl/h.
