    The character and elegance of a Grand Cru from Pessac-Léognan with a papal heritage

    The property
    The Château Pape Clément, located in Pessac in the Bordeaux wine region, is one of the oldest Grands Crus in the region, with a history dating back to 1252. The estate, which covers 64 hectares, has been managed by Bernard Magrez since the 1980s. The château owes its name to Pope Clement V who passionately managed his vineyard before donating it to the Archbishop of Bordeaux. It was then referred to as the "Vines of Pope Clement".

    The vineyard
    Located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the vineyard of Château Pape Clément rests on a layer of Pyrenean clayey gravels, an ideal terroir for the expression of Bordeaux grape varieties. Covering an area of 64 hectares, this terroir with vines averaging 29 years old, offers the grapes remarkable concentration and complexity.

    The vintage
    The 2024 vintage was marked by a cold and humid winter, followed by a cool and rainy spring. The summer proved to be hot and dry, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes. .

    Vinification and aging
    Rigorous selection of grapes before parcel vinification. The aging is carried out 70% in barrels (two thirds of which are new wood), 15% in vats and 15% in various containers (sandstone, concrete, stainless steel), bringing complexity and finesse to the wine.

    Blend
    53% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.
