In the mouth
The palate opens with a firm, well-defined attack. Mid-palate weight is substantial yet refined, with layered fruit flavours supported by fine-grained tannins. The finish displays considerable elegance and length, with a mineral persistence characteristic of the finest Graves.
On the nose
The bouquet unfolds with ripe dark fruits—blackcurrant and plum—complemented by subtle spice notes and a whisper of violets. The aromatic profile speaks to careful élevage and the wine's inherent breeding.
On the eye
Deep ruby garnet with excellent clarity and intensity.
Breeding
Aged 18 months in oak barrels.
This wine pairs admirably with roasted beef, particularly fillet or rib. It complements aged cheeses—a mature Comté or Gruyère—with particular grace. Consider it also with duck confit or game preparations where its structure and refinement will shine. Cellaring potential suggests this vintage will develop further complexity over the next decade.

CHATEAU PAPE CLEMENT
Set in Pessac, Gironde, Château Pape Clément covers 63 hectares at the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, on gravelly-sandy and clay-limestone soils typical of the Left Bank. Founded in 1252, the château takes its name from Bertrand de Goth, Archbishop of Bordeaux, who became Pope Clement V in 1305 — one of the most thoroughly documented origins in the Bordeaux vineyard. Bernard Magrez took the helm in 1983 and went on to achieve a perfect Parker score of 100 for the 2009 vintage. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the depth of its Cabernet Sauvignon-led reds and the aromatic precision of its whites, both shaped by soils farmed under HVE and Terra Vitis certifications. A benchmark Pessac-Léognan, equally at home in the cellar or on the table.
PESSAC-LEOGNAN ROUGE
Fondé au XIVe siècle, Château Pape Clément demeure l\'un des fleurons de Pessac-Léognan. Ce 2022 incarne l\'élégance classique du terroir : une robe rubis profonde, un nez fruité aux notes florales délicates, une bouche ample et structurée. À déguster sur un filet de boeuf ou un camembert au calvados pour en révéler toute la finesse.
