48% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc.
Intense nose of chocolate, fresh fruit, cherry, strawberry. A freshness stands out. The aromas are bold, intricate, and seductive, led by black cherry preserves and violets wrapped in tobacco and accented by cedar and iron. With dark fruit, chocolate, and graphite, the mouthfeel shows muscle, stamina, and definition, built on tight-knit tannins and cleansing acidity.
L'Ame de Pape Clement is a second label from Château Pape Clement. It translates to "The Soul of Pape Clement". Château Pape Clement is on the list of the Classification of Graves Wine of 1959. This wine debuted in this 2019 vintage and is made from the same vineyard that produces the estate's flagship bottle.
Known to be one of the oldest Bordeaux Grands Crus, the estate’s vineyard was established by Bertrand de Goth, who in 1305 became Pope Clément V, the name which was subsequently given to the Château. The first harvest there took place in 1252, laying the foundations for an outstanding cultural heritage. It was in 1980 that Bernard Magrez acquired the estate. Since then, he has endeavoured to pay his respects to it daily and to glorify this magnificent property which has witnessed part of France’s history.
Château Pape Clément belongs to the Pessac-Léognan appellation contrôlée and the wider Graves wine region.
