Aromas of wild blackberries, blueberries, dried lavender, cloves and eucalyptus with gravel and cocoa butter. It’s full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Polished and creamy with a core of ripe fruit that evolves to herbs, spices and chocolate. Fantastic concentration and seamless integration. Try from 2024.

Aromas of wild blackberries, blueberries, dried lavender, cloves and eucalyptus with gravel and cocoa butter. It’s full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Polished and creamy with a core of ripe fruit that evolves to herbs, spices and chocolate. Fantastic concentration and seamless integration. Try from 2024.

The 2018 Pape Clement is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged for approximately 18 months in oak barriques, 60% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it rolls out of the glass with vibrant notes of crushed black cherries, stewed black plums and black raspberries, followed by suggestions of violets, star anise, cardamom and camphor with a waft of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers exhilarating energy, offering crunchy black berry and exotic spice layers with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. Still very primary, it will need a good 5 years in bottle to deliver that next-level experience and will drink over the next 30+ years.

Coming from 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc brought up in 60% new French oak, the 2018 Château Pape Clement from Bernard Magrez is a gorgeous wine that's performing even better from bottle than barrel, which is always a good sign. Deep ruby/purple, with stunning crème de cassis and blackberry fruits as well as kaleidoscope-like notes of graphite, scorched earth, smoke, violets, and spring flowers, it offers full-bodied richness yet stays light on its feet, graceful, and almost ethereal on the palate, with integrated acidity and building yet seamless tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon really sings at this point, and there's almost a Médoc-like regalness here. Reminding me of a slightly more elegant 2005 (it also has similarities to the 2016), it will benefit from 4-6 years in the cellar and keep for 30+ years.

This is a very driven Pape Clement with fantastic density and finesse at the same time. Linear and driven. the finish goes on for minutes with incredible tension and focus. More cabernet. Refinement with power.

This is really well put together. with waves of steeped plum. currant and raspberry fruit. bolts of licorice and tar and a long apple wood accent on the sappy finish.

This wine is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc to be aged for approximately 18 months in oak barriques. 60% new. Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 Pape Clement is a little closed. slowly unfurling to reveal fragrant earth. crushed rocks. iron ore and tobacco notions over a core of crushed red and black currants plus kirsch. red roses and Ceylon tea. Full-bodied and wonderfully vivacious. it offers a solid line of firm and fine-grained tannins and amazing freshness. finishing very long and mineral laced. und vergibt ihm 96-98 Punkte.

The 2018 Pape Clement is dense. powerful. and brooding. In most vintages. Pape Clement is much more showy and inviting. but the 2018 is in no mood to show all of its cards. Instead. we find a Pape Clement that explodes with vertical intensity and lift. Captivating scents of gravel. smoke. leather. tobacco. chocolate and incense add layers of complexity. I can't wait to see how the 2018 ages. Today. it is super expressive. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. New oak is 45%. Tasted four times.
