Pape Clément Blanc is always one of Bordeaux’s greatest dry whites and the 2017 vintage was no exception, with 98 points from James Suckling and 96 from Antonio Galloni. “A white of real distinction and class, the 2017 Pape Clément Blanc is textured, racy and super inviting. Stylistically, the 2017 is more citrus and floral driven than in the past. Tropical notes and the more unctuous feel that are typical of the Blanc are present, but less overt than in the past. Above all else, in 2017 the Blanc stands out for its exceptional purity, nuance and delineation. The Blanc has been nothing else than deeply impressive on the four occasions I have tasted it so far.” Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com May 2018. Cellar, then serve at a fine dinner.
