Depuis 1985, Pape Clément associe magnifiquement le bouquet et la finesse naturelle des Graves, à la puissance de son terroir (comparable à celui des plus grands Pauillac). C'est incontestablement un des super seconds de la rive gauche, ce que confirment les notes attribuées à ses derniers millésimes.
Bettane & Desseauve : 95-96/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Excellent corps et texture charnue avec une grande sensualité typique de Pessac par rapport à Léognan, un vrai pape-clément qui enchantera ses consommateurs fidèles. »
Quarin : 91/100 « La couleur est intense et pour le cru, le nez me semble un peu discret. Bouche tendre, savoureuse et agréable, où le vin retrouve ses arômes originaux en finale. Longueur normale. »
Galloni : 95-97/100 « The 2023 Pape Clément is one of the most exciting wines I have tasted here in a long time, maybe ever. Intensely aromatic and layered, the 2023 is simply stunning. Dried flowers, mint, licorice, mocha, cedar and tobacco soar out of the glass. The purity of the flavors is simply mind-blowing. Plum, pomegranate, blood orange and spice build in the glass, adding notable textural richness and resonance. [...] For readers who want to taste the "new" Bordeaux, this is it. What a wine! »
Martin : 93-95/100 « It's much more classic in style, almost reserved, with tightly wound black fruit mixed with briar and light gravelly scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a light entry, just a pinch of spice and moderate depth. The silky, peppery, finish is more tertiary than you would expect to find on what was once quite a bombastic Pessac-Léognan. [...] Very fine. I like this new direction. though I would not regard this as a benchmark for future vintages. This will be interesting to revisit after bottling. »
