Ratings

Apr 06, 2023

94 Aromas of rich cherries, cassis, burning embers, violets and dark chocolate introduce the 2020 Pape Clément, a medium to full- bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's ripe, layered and generously extracted but also a touch deeper and more reserved than the flashy 2019. While it would be an exaggeration to say that this estate's red wines are making much of a shift in the direction of restraint, the style is certainly less aspirational than it was a decade ago.

Falstaff May 2021

96 Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate ochre rim. Attractive fresh heart cherry fruit, dark forest berries, cassis, delicate precious wood, fine tobacco nuances, a multifaceted bouquet. Juicy, complex, very elegant, with freshness and ripe tannins, mineral and very good persistence, great balance and length, already very seductive in its youth, assured development potential.
