Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest Grands Crus of Bordeaux from Pessac-Léognan and arguably competes with the famed Château Haut-Brion (also from Pessac-Léognan) for a fraction of the price. Blended from 60% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Pape Clement offers an enticing aroma of blackcurrant, in the glass. The depth and length of the palate and finish are exceptional. Simply gorgeous, indulgent, and capable of providing pure bliss.
