Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Needs a little swirling to coax out notes of fresh apricots, juicy pears, and green mango, leading to hints of lime blossoms and sea spray. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and refreshing with loads of orchard fruit layers and a compelling savoriness on the finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Mango, orange rind, pineapple, and green apples form the core of the wine. Racy, with a focus on its fresh, citrus nature, and round textures from start to finish, this will be a pleasure to enjoy on release, and for at least a decade or more after that. The wine blends 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 43% Semillon, and 7% Sauvignon Gris. Drink from 2027-2037."

James Suckling: "Spiced guava, lemon zest and meringue. Bright and lightly saline on the palate with medium body and a long, nicely phenolic finish. Bone-dry but flavorful."

Weinwisser: "dicht verwobenes Bouquet, Schlüßelblume, weißer Pfirsich und Mandarinenzeste. Am saftigen Gaumen mit fein pfeffrigem Extrakt, balancierter Rasse und schlankem Körper. Im gebündelten feinaromatischen Finale Agrume, Melisse und stützender Kreideton."

Jeb Dunnuck: "Clean and crisp, ripe lemon, honeyed melon, mint, and crushed stone notes emerge from the light gold 2024 Château Pape Clément Blanc. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, concentrated, fresh, and focused, showing the vintage's more rounded, charming style. It has beautiful balance and a long finish."

Jane Anson: "Appealingly ripe and luscious fruit, apricot, citrus blossom, slate texture, no need to wait but it will age, great length on the finish, sage and lemongrass, great quality. Harvest 4 to 19 September. 41 hl/ha. 12 months of ageing in barrels and amphoras."

Vinum: "Subtile Reduktion, weisser Pfirsich, Kräuterwürze, Zitrusfrüchte, feuchter Kieselstein; der Gaumen zeigt eine gewissen Opulenz, ohne dabei schwerfällig zu wirken, knackige Frucht, getragen von einer feinen Säure, langanhaltendes, salines Finale, endet auf Grapefruit und eine pfeffrige Würze."

Decanter: "A bit shy aromatically. Gorgeous lemon and creamy mango and pineapple on the palate. Assured and nicely textured with weight as well as acidity. A touch viscous and silky while having a lifted frame overall. Mouthwatering with nuances of orange zest, lemon juice, creamy vanilla and pear. Good quality - I like the structure."
