🏰 The 2020 Château Pape Clément Blanc is widely recognized as "one of the whites of the vintage," with Jeb Dunnuck awarding it a perfect 100 points and describing it as a "truly sensational white" and an "incredible achievement." This prestigious white Bordeaux is typically a blend of 62-67% Sauvignon Blanc, 30-33% Sémillon, 3-4% Sauvignon Gris, and 1% Muscadelle, carefully raised in a mix of new and used oak. 【100-point "one of the whites of the vintage" by Jeb Dunnuck】 👃 It offers a massive nose of honeyed limes, white flowers, tropical fruit, crushed stone, and orange marmalade. The palate boasts vibrant freshness, full-bodied richness, a stacked mid-palate, and a fabulous mouthfeel. Expect richness and focus with notes of sliced cooked apple, lemon, light toffee, candied pineapple, and hints of meringue. It is elegant, satiny, and seamless, with bright acids, attractive purity of fruit, and a long aromatic finish, featuring crisp nectarine, lemongrass, and white flowers. Juicy minerality with white pear, peach, and a slate-filled texture adds grip and saline freshness. Lively, juicy acidity is backed by rich flavors of orange marmalade, crushed oyster shells, Key Lime pie, honeysuckle, and a lovely bouquet of tropical fruits. 🍴 This sensational white wine is a superb pairing for seafood, poultry, and aged cheeses. It also complements clams, mussels, shrimp, fish, lobster, crab, and white pasta dishes, as well as meaty and oily fish. 🥂 A true show-stopper, this wine is perfect for grand celebrations and fine dining. While delicious now, with some suggesting it's hard to stay away from, it has excellent aging potential, with a drinking window extending to 2040. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a profound and age-worthy white Bordeaux.
