The Story Behind the Bottle
Château Pape Clément was purchased as a country estate in 1300 by Bertrand de Goth, shortly before he became Pope Clement V. He moved the papacy to Avignon (to the universal approval of his fellow Frenchmen) and the wine produced on his estate there became known as Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Meanwhile, he handed the vineyards of Pape Clément over to the church, who kept them until the French Revolution. The estate is now managed by Bernard Magrez, who has been entrusted with bringing the estate’s wines up to their full potential. Decanter called this 2022 "a thoroughbred", saying it has "supreme complexity and shine"; Wine Advocate called it "full-bodied, broad and textural, with a rich, layered core of super-ripe fruit." A fine red to cellar.
