Château Pape Clément 2025

“The 2025 Pape Clément is magnificent. The aromatics alone are captivating. Strong floral and savory notes soar from the glass. Lave nder, rose petal, sage, mint and mocha lead into a core of ,wonderfully vibrant red/purplish fruit. Medium in body and deep, Pape Clément is positively stellar in 2025. The Cabernets and Petit Verdot add tons of aromatic presence. Élevage is 85% in barrique and 15% in foudre, with a relatively modest 33% new oak. Drinking window: 2035-2065.” (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
