What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes :Pape-Clement’s white wine is a limited, high quality blend of 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon. This terrific 2004 offers up notes of orange marmalade, lemon oil, and candied figs. Medium-bodied and rich, with good acidity and an impressive texture, it will age well for two decades.

Reviews

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 126, May/June 2006 (bottled in February) Pale color. Sexy aromas of lemon drop and smoky oak, with a resiny note. Fat and rich in the mouth, with flavors of apple, minerals and spicy, vanillin oak. This is showing a sweetness and pliancy of texture in bottle that I did not find a year ago in barrel, but there's also a sensation of firm spine.

"Backwards as always at this stage but rich and intense. Oak present but lovely ripe tropical fruit. Palate unctuous and full flavoured. Acidity provides lift…4 stars." Decanter 6/05
