Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Aug 23
The 2013 Pape Clément has a perfectly capable nose, lifted brambly red fruit, touches of brown spice, sous-bois and perhaps more energy than some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with acceptable definition, clearly more fruit concentration with a tad more sweetness and grip on the finish. If I were buying a Pessac-Léognan from this maligned vintage, it might well be this. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2034

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 22 Feb 23
The grilled oak feels a touch intrusive on the nose, although it is melted away on the palate, and the tannic frame is still lending form and grip. Gentle black fruits, edges of liqourice, this is enjoyabe but falls away on the finish. So hard to maintain momentum in this vintage. 60% new oak, harvest October 3 to 5.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2036

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14 Aug 23
The 2013 Pape Clement has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It is a bit tired on the nose, offering subtle notes of dried figs and mulberries, with hints of rusty nails, leather, and tobacco. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is skeletal and hard, with an abrupt finish. Drink up!
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2030
Pessac-Léognan Fine Wine

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
