Georgina Hindle 94 points www.decanter.com (at Bordeaux, 01 Apr 2022) Concentrated and intense nose with subtle violet and perfume flecks. Quite chewy and grippy on the palate, this has more of a chunky frame than many others with mouthwatering acidity, plush tannins and a good dose of strawberry, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit edged by eucalyptus and liquorice. You get the liveliness but also the density and the gentle power and I love the minerality at the end, a touch of salinity as well as cedar, clove, bitter dark chocolate and slate. You’ve got a lot going on with this wine and it’s one of the more confident wines from the Bernard Magrez stable in the vintage. This could be very excellent. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Tasted twice. Drinking Window : 2025 – 2045
Neal Martin 91-93 www.vinous.com The 2021 Pape Clément was picked from 28 September until 14 October matured for a planned 18 months in 90% French oak and 10% in the foudres introduced in 2018. It is a completely diametrically opposite style to the previous vintages, partly a result of Michel Rolland handing the reins over to his right-hand man, Julien Vilaud, who has always had a different winemaking philosophy. On the nose: blackberry, sous-bois and cedar, not austere yet certainly a more reserved style. The palate is framed by quite gritty tannins, fine acidity, fresh and saline with modest depth on the finish that feels a little austere. Tasted several times, this is a fascinating, perhaps divisive Pape-Clément that might throw a few accustomed to its style of yore. One you have to get to really understand.
Yves Beck 95-96 points www.yvesbeck.wine Pape Clément affiche bien son élevage au travers de nuances de café et de chocolat mais également des notes de cerises et d’iris. Bonne ampleur en bouche grâce à des tannins onctueux. Cette ampleur est complétée par la vivacité de la structure acide, ce qui est de très bon augure dans le contexte de ce vin. Au final, il est équilibré et imposant ! 2026-2051
Antonio Galloni 92-94.5 www.vinous.com The 2021 Pape Clément is a tightly wound, reticent wine. A core of bright red-toned fruit lies behind a wall of tannin and acids that is pretty impenetrable at this stage. I imagine the 2021 will come around at some point, but it is pretty austere in the early going. Tasted four times.
Jean-Marc Quarin 90 points www.quarin.com Couleur pâle. Nez intense, fruité, épicé et mentholé. Tendre à l’attaque, savoureux en milieu de bouche, le vin évolue ascendant en offrant beaucoup de goût dans le dernier tiers du palais. Jolie longueur sèveuse, parfumée et délicate. Assemblage : 89 % sauvignon, 11 % sémillon.
