Even the second wine of white Pape Clement, the 2009 Clementin (a blend of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon and the rest Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle) has an exotic orange marmalade note intermixed with lemon butter and honeysuckle. It’s a beauty and well worth buying. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 March 2012 |

Le Clementin Pape-Clement Pessac Leognan : The best second wine I have tasted from this estate, the 2009 Clementin de Pape Clement (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and tiny dosages of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) reveals a pretty nose of red and black fruits intermixed with burning embers and gravelly notes. A lush texture, plenty of up-front fruit, medium body, and a silky finish suggest it is perfect for drinking over the next decade. (Tasted once.) Historically one of the oldest vineyards in Bordeaux (having once been owned by Pope Clement, who gets more credit for what he did in Chateauneuf du Pape than in Graves), this 700-year old Pessac vineyard has turned out another profound wine under the administration of proprietor Bernard Magrez. Score: 87 - 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2010-20 01 April 2010 |
