Clementin de Pape Clement Pessac Leognan Blanc 2016
Clementin de Pape Clement Pessac Leognan Blanc 2016
Château Pape Clément is a grand cru wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Graves. It is one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, dating back to the 13th Century, and is now just 15 minutes from the center of Bordeaux city, and surrounded by urban development.
The Pape Clément vineyard is situated on a mix of gravel-sand and clay-limestone soils, with a chalky subsoil rich in iron. This is a good terroir for both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The 2016 Clémentin de Pape Clement Blanc reveals suggestions of fresh hay, dried persimmons, pineapple and wild thyme plus a waft of oyster shell. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean, with compelling saline notions, it finishes long and mineral laced.

The 2016 Clémentin de Pape Clément Blanc is a gorgeous second wine from Pape Clément. Orchard fruit, mint and flowers all grace this soft, open-knit white. In 2016, the Clémentin Blanc speaks in a hushed, reserved voice. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years.
