2024 Chateau Pape-Clement Blanc
The 2024 Pape Clément Blanc emerges from the glass with aromas of pear, confit citrus, lime and herbs, followed by a moderately weighted, supple and lively palate built around tangy acids that culminate in a fresh, fruity finish. ~ (92) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-23-2025
Appealingly ripe and luscious fruit, apricot, citrus blossom, slate texture, no need to wait but it will age, great length on the finish, sage and lemongrass, great quality. Harvest 4 to 19 September. 41 hl/ha. 12 months of ageing in barrels and amphoras ~ (93) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-1-2025
Reserved nose, the Sauvignon component coming through as it opens. Full and generous on the palate, the fruit ripe but with balancing acidity. Clean, fresh finish. Oak more discreet than in the past. ~ (16.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-10-2025
The 2024 Pape Clément Blanc has a seductive nose with wild peach, citrus peel, tangerine and light white flower scents opening in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry and a little pithier than its peers, suggesting more solids "in the mix." As a consequence, there is a tad more weight on the finish. Though it perhaps lacks a little complexity overall, I am intrigued to see how this will age in bottle. ~ (93) Neal Martin, Vinous 4-30-2025
Clean and crisp, ripe lemon, honeyed melon, mint, and crushed stone notes emerge from the light gold 2024 Château Pape Clément Blanc. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, concentrated, fresh, and focused, showing the vintage's more rounded, charming style. It has beautiful balance and a long finish. ~ (95) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-9-2025
The 2024 Pape Clément Blanc is stellar. Rich and deep, the 2024 stands out because of its textural density and almost phenolic feel. The 2024 is being raised in 50% oak (one-third new), 40% foudre and 10% a mix of ceramic, cement and stainless steel. Citrus confit, dried herbs, white pepper and chalk build as this imposing, structured white shows off its distinctive personality. Tasted four times. ~ (96) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-29-2025
Spiced guava, lemon zest and meringue. Bright and lightly saline on the palate with medium body and a long, nicely phenolic finish. Bone-dry but flavorful. ~ (95) Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com 4-18-2025
