Pessac Leognan Pape Clement Grand Cru Classé 2016 Size::1 Bottle West Weekend

West Weekend

Cellar to 2030

The high altitude and south-easterly inclination of this site always encourages a sense of brisk energy and this translates into a racy brew with red fruit

smooth and developed yet still fresh

Pessac Leognan Pape Clement Grand Cru Classé 2016 Size::1 Bottle West WeekendThe 2016 Pape Clment has a really attractive nose of red berry fruit, cassis, black cherry, blackcurrant and spice. The vines here are planted on clay gravels. Dark ruby, the palate is medium bodied with good tannin structure, an attractive, taut acidity and a nice lift at the end. It feels like it has been reined in this year, which is pleasing and will appeal to traditional Claret drinkers.
