Wine Spectator, March 2017

Quite showy, with a broad and creamy feel, as this has a toasted macadamia nut frame around a large core of warm lemon pound cake, tangerine cream, white ginger and wet straw notes. Though hefty, this glides beautifully...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2017

This is a ripe and tropical wine, complex with wood aging. It is warm, intensely rich and piled with mango and pineapple flavors. The acidity and crispness are well behind this smooth, creamy wine. Drink from 2022.

The 2014 Pape Clement Blanc, a distinguished Bordeaux Blanc from France, is a wine that simply emanates elegance and indulgence. Layered complexity is a notable characteristic of this vintage; it's a rich tapestry of flavors where each sip reveals a new surprising element.

Reflecting its vibrant, golden hue, this white wine is indeed a treasure from the vineyards of Pape Clement in the renowned region of Pessac Leognan in Bordeaux. The wine is beautifully encased in a corked bottle, preserving the integrity and character of the grandeur within.

The first sip introduces a broad and creamy palate, with a toasted macadamia nut frame surrounding a generous core of warm lemon pound cake, tangerine cream, white ginger, and wet straw notes. This wine is unabashedly showy and hefty, yet it glides beautifully thanks to well-buried acidity.

As you delve deeper, you'll discover a ripe, tropical flair with a complexity born from wood aging. The wine is warm, intensely rich, and brimming with mango and pineapple flavors. The acidity and crispness are subtly hidden behind this smooth, creamy wine, creating an exquisite balance of tastes.

The aroma is equally compelling, with complex notes of sliced apples, honey, pineapple and honeysuckle, mingling with hints of stones. This full-bodied wine boasts firm and silky tannins, culminating in a beautiful finish that is both intense and powerful.
