Description
Chateau Pape Clement Clementin de Pape Clement Pessac Léognan is the flagship of the Bernard Magrez winery. Classified as an
AOC (French designation of controlled origin), it is a
still red that comes from one of the oldest
Grand Crus in
Bordeaux. History has it that it was planted in the thirteenth century by Bertrand de Goth, a cadet of a noble French family in the area. The
terroir that hosts it is that of
Pessac-Léognan, a small town located a few kilometers from Bordeaux. Here the soil is clayey, calcareous, and with a good presence of gravel. The climate is mild thanks to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding forests protect it from the otherwise harsh climate. A little curiosity: the vineyard soil is plowed according to age-old methods using oxen or horses.
