Château Pape Clément (2019)

Pessac-Leognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France

Varietal(s): 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot

Stunning aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, scorched earth, and tobacco. Beautifully balanced, with flawless tannins, this full-bodied Pessac has that rare mix of elegance and power, a great mid-palate, and again, perfect balance. It's one of the gems of the vintage and has some accessibility today given its purity and balance
