Tasting Notes
The 2017 Pape Cl�ment is fabulous. One of the rare 2017s with a real sense of structure, Pape Cl�ment possesses dazzling intensity from start to finish. A rush of dark cherry, plum, chocolate and grilled herb notes hits the palate as this majestic, towering wine shows off its personality. Time in the glass brings out a brighter and more floral set of flavors. The 2017 is the first vintage made with a portion of whole clusters, an inspiration Bernard Magrez takes from Ch�teauneuf-du-Pape, where he recently bought a small property. Quite simply, the 2017 Pape Cl�ment is a magnificent wine by any measure. Don't miss it. The only problem with the 2017 is that yields are down 40% because of frost. Score - 94-97.
