Château Pape Clément is the flagship Grand Cru Classé red of this historic Pessac-Léognan estate near Bordeaux, typically a Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot blend raised in a high proportion of new oak. Sourced from deep gravel-and-clay soils that give both power and finesse, it is known for its smoky, spicy bouquet, dense yet velvety texture, and impressive depth and length, making it one of the most opulent and ageworthy wines of the Graves.
