Situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Graves, Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, dating back to the 13th century. The 36-hectare property is on a combination of gravel-sand and clay-limestone soils, with a chalky subsoil rich in iron. The Pape Clément Blanc is typically a blend of several grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with possible additions of Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris. Expect aromas of citrus fruits, tropical notes, honey, and a subtle touch of oak.
