Château Pape Clément blanc 2020

This topper from Pessac-Léognan is made from the grapes sauvignon blanc, sémillon and sauvignon gris on a soil of clay and gravel. Gravel retains the heat well, it slowly releases the heat to the grapes in the summer months. This ensures grapes that ripen slowly and evenly. The grapes are picked manually and pressed slowly as a whole. Afterwards, the juice immediately goes into wooden barrels for a minimum of 16 months, with its lie. A bâtonnage is regularly done to give the wine the necessary liveliness and volume. When tasting, we recognize an intense golden yellow wine. In the nose we mainly have citrus fruit, with hints of vanilla and grilled bread in the second nose. When tasting, the ripe fruit comes to the fore and the perfect balance between mouth filling and refined acidity. A light minerality in the absolute finale nicely reflects that this is an absolute terroir wine. Serve in a wide wine glass and preferably not too cold to fully enjoy its wide and complex aromas.
