Chateau Pape Clement - Chateau Pape Clement blanc 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "Dense and tight with a solid core of sliced Meyer lemon, lime and green apple. It’s full and very compact with a phenolic texture that runs the length of the wine. Slightly chewy, yet, it’s long and persistent with a mineral and bitter citrus undertone at the end."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of white flowers, lemon oil, pomegranate and lemongrass preface the 2023 Pape Clément Blanc, a moderately weighted, sappy, layered and incisive wine with bright acids and a penetrating, mouthwatering finish. In comparison to previous vintages, the use of wood has been scaled back, allowing the wine to express a closer connection to its terroir and achieve greater precision in its aromatic profile."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart nach Mandarinenzesten, ein Hauch von Ananas und Mango, ein Hauch von Blütenhonig, einladendes Bukett. Straff, mittlere Komplexität, weiße Frucht, frischer Säurebogen, gut anhaftend, saliner Abgang, zeigt eine gewisse Länge."
