Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Pape Clement 2020 Blanc Pessac Leognan :
Pape Clement's 2020 Blanc leaps from the glass with gregarious notions of fresh pink grapefruit, Bosc pears and lime blossoms with hints of coriander seed, yuzu zest and white pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers fantastically intense citrus and pear flavors with a racy backbone and silky texture, finishing long and fragrant. The blend this year is 67% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon and 3% Sauvignon Gris, with anticipated bottling projected to be taking place on December 14 and 15, 2021. The alcohol is 13.5%.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Pape Clement 2020 Blanc Pessac Leognan Folgendes:
Lots of white peach and red apple with crushed-stone and pine-needle undertones. Full-bodied, yet compact and linear with beautiful toffee, light caramel, praline and nougat character to the fruit. Hints of wood. It shows phenolic tension and form, yet remains agile and energetic. Impressive for the vintage.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pape Clement:
The 2020 Pape Clément Blanc is a clear step up from the Le Prélat and Clementin, delivering taut, mineral-rich citrus fruit aromas with vibrancy and tension. The palate is well balanced and seems less oaky than previous vintages when tasted from barrel. Ginger and lemongrass enliven the finish on this excellent Pape Clément Blanc.

Mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Feine Nuancen von gelbem Pfirsich und Ringlot- ten, zarter Blütenhonig, kandierte Orangenzesten, mineralischer Touch. Kraftvoll, saftig und elegant, reife Tropenfrucht, zarte Kräuterwürze, integrierter Säurebogen, feine Süße im Nachhall, sehr gute Länge, mineralisch unterlegt, ein sicheres Ver- sprechen für die Zukunft.
