Château Pape Clément
Just south of Bordeaux, Château Pape Clément gives Pessac‑Léognan a lineage few estates can match. A first harvest is recorded in 1252, and in 1305 Bertrand de Goth—elected Pope Clement V—lent his name to the vineyard.
For centuries the property belonged to the archbishops, a walled refuge of gravels, clay and iron‑tinged soils on the edge of an expanding city. Classified a Graves Cru Classé in 1953, it entered a new era when Bernard Magrez acquired it in the 1980s, pushing strict parcel selection and meticulous hand work.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot lead the blends, supported by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot; lots are vinified separately, extraction kept gentle, élevage in barriques carefully measured. The signature is discipline with depth—Pessac‑Léognan framed by history and sharpened by precision.Château Pape Clément
