Reviews

James Suckling 97-98

This is a very structured 2022 with powerful tannins that run the length of the wine. Yet it's perfumed and fresh with flowers and subtle undertones of stone. Pure. It's full but not heavy with backbone and structure. Lots of crushed stone and currants. One of the most transparent you Pape's I have tasted. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon.

Vinous Media 94-96

The 2022 Pape Clement was picked 7-27 September at 35hL/ha, aged in 60% new oak. It has quite an open and expressive bouquet at this stage, with blackcurrant and bilberry scents. A more sensual Pape Clement perhaps, the oak is neatly integrated. Black olives emerge with time, hints of sea spray - this is certainly a wine you have to stay with. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Layers of black fruit laced with graphite and cedar, rending this 2022 quite Pauillac-like in style. Nicely controlled on the finish, this is a Pape Clement with breeding.

Wine Advocate 92-94

Revealing aromas of blueberries, cassis, spring flowers and toasty new oak, the 2022 Pape Clement is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a rich, layered core of super-ripe fruit framed by liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the firm, lavishly oaky finish. This is a flamboyant, unabashedly modern-styled Pape Clment that will need several years in the cellar to blossom. It's a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.
