The Story
The second white wine of Château Pape Clément—Bernard Magrez's flagship Pessac-Léognan estate—and a fantastic introduction to the house style at a fraction of the grand vin's cost. The 2019 Clémentin Blanc is 90% Sauvignon Blanc with 10% Sémillon, vinified across an array of vessels (French oak barrels and foudres, concrete eggs, stainless steel) for layered complexity. The result is medium-bodied, focused, and flinty—a serious white with mineral nuance, bright acidity, and the kind of energy that makes you reach for a second glass. Drink now through 2027.
