| Description: | Jeb Dunnuck 98 Points - "Among the whites of the vintage, the 2016 Chteau Pape Clment Blanc is one of the most concentrated, deep, and full-bodied whites out there, offering up a red wine-like structure to go with beautiful notes of white grapefruit, Meyer lemon, crushed rocks, and exotic flowers. A blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Smillon, 9% Sauvignon Gris, and 5% Muscadelle, all from deep gravelly soils and brought up in 55% new French oak, this incredibly textured, pure, balanced white needs 3-4 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades or more.". James Suckling 95 Points - "High-end Pessac-Lognan can sometimes be too imposing to drink when it is young. But here, theres such freshness to the melon, pear and white-peach aromas with hints of candied lemon and vanilla, that you cant resist. Concentrated, but with a sleek silhouette, this moves extremely gracefully across the palate. The super-elegant finish has vibrancy that suggests very long aging potential.". Wine Advocate 95 Points - "The Pape Clement 2016 Blanc is a blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 36% Smillon, 9% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Muscadelle. It leaps from the glass with gregarious scents of ripe peaches, fresh grapefruit and key lime pie plus touches of cedar, honeysuckle and toast. Medium-bodied, the palate offers fantastic precision and depth, with layers of citrus and stone fruit flavors supported by a racy line of freshness, finishing very long." |
