2021 · Clémentin de Pape Clément

Château Pape Clément is a historic Grand Cru Classé de Graves in Pessac, Bordeaux, with first harvests recorded in 1252 and origins linked to Pope Clement V. Solely owned by Bernard Magrez since 1980, it is part of his wider Bordeaux portfolio. The estate presents its style as a blend of tradition and innovation, with manual sorting, plot-by-plot vinification in a wooden vat room redesigned in 2007, and élevage in barrel for 16 months. It also highlights precision work to respect micro-terroirs and ongoing innovation in response to climate change. Beyond wine, the property is notable for its gardens, art collection, and visitor experiences.
