Château Pape Clément
The château, located in the Pessac-Leognan appellation, owes its hallowed name to Bertrand de Goth, who succeeded Pope Benedict XI and took the name Clement V. Since 1939, the property has been owned by the Montagne family and most recently directed by Léo Montagne. The estate consists of 32 hectares, planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as a small percentage of white varietals. The flagship red is considered one of the best clarets in the region. The estate also makes a second wine, Le Clementin de Pape-Clement.
The Pape Clément Blanc is a skillful blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle from a mere 2.5 hectares of land. The grapes undergo a stringent selection process and only the best are allowed into the press. It then spends approximately 18 months in French oak. The wine is an absolute dream and amazingly well-priced for the quality.
