Fruity

The estate’s white wine charms with its aromatic purity and elegant structure.

The nose opens with vibrant citrus, white flowers, peach, or pear, then reveals more complex notes (fresh grass, exotic fruit, honey, or wax, depending on the vintage) upon aeration.
On the palate, the attack is lively, driven by the Sauvignon Blanc, while the Sémillon adds volume, roundness, and depth.
The well-balanced aging (often on lees, in barrels or various containers) imparts texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

The finish is clean, mouth-watering, marked by a beautiful minerality, and the length is significant.

This white wine seduces young with its brightness, but also evolves gracefully.

Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest and most prestigious Grands Crus Classés in the Graves region, whose vineyard was planted in the 13th century by Bertrand de Goth, later Pope Clement V.
After various ownerships, it was acquired in the 1980s by Bernard Magrez, who initiated a rigorous modernization process while respecting the historical roots of the site.

The estate covers approximately 53 hectares of red wine and 7 hectares of white wine, in the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
The red grape varieties are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. For the whites, the blend includes Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and touches of Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle. The terroir is made up of well-drained Pyrenean clayey gravel, sand, and clay, resting on an ancient subsoil—these soils give the wines finesse, structure, freshness, and a typical mineral character.

Viticulture combines tradition and innovation: manual harvesting, rigorous sorting (by plot, by grape and berry sorting), aging in French barrels and foudres, sometimes in mixed containers for the whites, to capture both the historical character and modern personality of the great wines.
