Pape Clement Blanc Pessac Leognan 2025 Pre-Arrival

97–98 Points – James Suckling
“This is enveloping, with a broad textural element running throughout. It’s bright and incisive, yet with a blanket of fruit that extends across the palate. Flavorful and long.”

96–98 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“Rich, vivid and textured, the 2025 Pape Clément Blanc is outrageously beautiful. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, tangerine peel, mint and white pepper soar from the glass. All the elements are so well balanced. This builds beautifully through to the intense, palate-staining finish. In 2025, the Blanc is quite simply magnificent, clearly one of the wines of the vintage.”

96 Points – Georgina Hindle, Decanter
“Straw, ripe peach and some waxy lemon aspects with really floral and fragrant aromas on the nose, smells rich and enticing. Beautiful succulence with a dollop of pineapple, lemon and lime, creamy vanilla and peach plus a touch of oiliness that gives amplitude and width. I love the intensity and delicacy here, a wine you really want to drink, full of fruit yet crystalline, focused, mineral, saline and salivating with fruit purity and impressive length.”
