"The 2012 Pape Clement, a profound blend of 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 44% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Gris and the rest Muscadelle, is once again a fabulous effort. Gorgeous notes of honeysuckle, pineapple, orange blossoms and mangoes soar from the glass of this full-bodied, unctuously textured, zesty, well-delineated white Pessac-Leognan from a suburb of Bordeaux. Drink it over the next 15-20 years."
Wine Advocate, April 2013
"Fresh wood dominates this powerful, rich wine. It’s developing its fruitiness well, bringing out tropical flavors. A ripe full-blooded, no-holds-barred density suggests a fine future. Drink from 2018"

"Well-toasted, creamy style, with brioche, shortbread and macadamia nut aromas and flavors along with lemon curd and wet straw, creamed yellow apple and melon fruit. Big and bold, but with superb range and definition""
