Chateau Pape Clement 2015
Pessac-Leognan
OWC
Bottle (12)

The collection comes from a great friend of Heritage Auctions who’s wines cellar organization and overall condition was near perfection. This consignment boasts over 100 Bordeaux OWCs stored in a temp-controlled, subterranean cellar that were kept in-the-dark and undisturbed for decades.

"The 2015 Pape Clement is blended of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, matured in 80% new and 20% one-year-old French oak barrels for 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple, it opens with profound notes of crushed red and black currants, black cherries and cassis with touches of mocha, baking spices, menthol and lavender plus a hint of new leather. Medium-bodied, firm and concentrated with tons of tightly wound black fruit and earth layers, it has a grainy frame and refreshing lift on the long finish." (96 pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2018)

"The clarity to this wine is impressive. Wealth of dark-plum and black-fruit essence not to mention orange citrus. Everything is dialed up to the limit here but then dialed in on the palate. Such impressive depth and suave, ripe, fluid tannins that deliver impressive length. Great wine. Such polish. Superb." (99 pts. James Suckling, Jan. 2018)

"One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Pape Clément is fabulous. Dark and beautifully resonant, it captures all the natural radiance of the year in the Pape Clément style. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, new leather and spice effortlessly fill out the wine's ample frame. Soft contours and an open-knit inviting personality are just two of the reasons the Pape Clément is going to be virtually impossible to resist, even in the early going. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot." (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec. 2017)
