Christian Balog beschreibt den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan wie folgt:
95-97
Die Nase zeigt sich mit guter Dichte, kein zu lautes Holz in der Nase, dennoch dunkelbeerig bis würzig. Am Gaumen fällt direkt auf dass der Wein eine sehr schöne Frische mitbringt. Der Mund zeigt sich ebenfalls balanciert und mit klarer Fruchtaromatik. Gute Länge im frsichen Ausklang.
Den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
Revealing aromas of blueberries, cassis, spring flowers and toasty new oak, the 2022 Pape Clément is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a rich, layered core of super-ripe fruit framed by liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the firm, lavishly oaky finish. This is a flamboyant, unabashedly modern-styled Pape Clément that will need several years in the cellar to blossom. It's a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
This is a very structured 2022 with powerful tannins that run the length of the wine. Yet it’s perfumed and fresh with flowers and subtle undertones of stone. Pure. It’s full but not heavy with backbone and structure. Lots of crushed stone and currants. One of the most transparent you Pape’s I have tasted. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon.
Den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
A full-bodied, concentrated, awesome Pessac, the 2022 Château Pape Clément offers up loads of spiced red and black fruits, some leafy tobacco, gravelly earth, and graphite aromatics, building, ripe, polished tannins, and a stacked mid-palate. Beautifully done, with remarkable purity and a great finish, it's going to rank with the crème de la crème of the vintage and is well worth seeking out.

Den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt Jeff Leve wie folgt:
96-98
Dark, almost opaque in color, the wine grabs your attention with its showy display of flowers, cinnamon, chocolate, spice, tobacco, blackberries, and black cherries in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is rich, lush, sweet, deep, and intense. There is a wealth of flavor in the black cherries, white pepper, dark chocolate, and espresso on the palate. The endnote sticks for almost 50 seconds, delivering a peppery, orange rind, refreshing note in the finish. The wine blends 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest took place September 7 - September 28. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2026-2055.
Den Chateau Pape Clement 2022 rouge Pessac Leognan beschreibt der Georgina Hindle wie folgt:
95 / 100
Focussed and charming, good weight and depth, the tannins come into play almost straight away coating the mouth in fine but plump, fleshy black fruit with cool blue fruit touches and high acidity giving a different, lighter nuance. Well made, with good definition. Not as lively as some, but has supreme complexity and shine, everything feels well worked with touches of oak, liquorice spice and clove that dot the palate. Strong and serious but confident and controlled. A thoroughbred. Tightly knitted but still showing glamour. Harvest 7-27 September. Bee friendly, HVE3 certified. Celebrating 770 vintages in 2022. Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud consultants.
