A medium-bodied red with blackberries and crushed stones. Walnuts and pine box, too. Medium, round tannins and a juicy finish. Second wine of Pape Clement.

The 2019 Clementin de Pape Clement is a gorgeous second wine that captures all the personality of the Grand Vin in a more accessible package that will be ready to drink upon release. Spice, tobacco, earthy and savory notes add layers of nuance to this pliant, beautifully textured wine.

Composed of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 65% Merlot, the 2019 Clementin de Pape Clement was harvested from the 18th of September to the 11th of October. Ninety-three percent is aging in French oak barriques, 66% new, and 7% is aging in large foudres. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose hits the ground running with exuberant plum preserves and baked cherries scents plus wafts of raspberry leaves, wild sage, damp soil and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, the palate has plenty of character and zing with a grainy texture, oodles of freshness and a mineral-tinged finish.
