Jeb Dunnuck 98+ points: "Black raspberries, cassis, graphite, scorched earth, and violet notes are just some of the nuances in the 2022 Château Pape Clément, a gorgeously textured, layered, seamless 2022. It's flawlessly balanced, has a class of tannins that's second to none, is full-bodied, has terrific concentration, and has a gorgeous finish. This classic, seamless, elegant, sensational layered, multi-dimensional Pessac will have 40 years of prime drinking." Drinking Window 2025 - 2065, Reviewed on 27.02.25 by Jeb Dunnuck

The Wine Cellar Insider 97 points: "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. 96-98 Pts." , Reviewed on 08.05.23 by The Wine Cellar Insider
Vinous Antonio Galloni 97 points: "The 2022 Pape Clément is a classy, elegant wine. Soaring aromatics open first. On the palate, the 2022 is vibrant and explosive, with terrific depth and exceptional balance. Today's wines here are simply striking because of their energy and verve. Those qualities help make Pape Clément one of the most changed wines in Bordeaux over the last decade or so. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, new leather and sage are some of the many notes that linger on the sustained finish. The 2022 is a superb Pape Clément. Tasted three times."

James Suckling 97 points: "A very well-balanced Pape Clement showing a solid structure, concentration and length. Fresh and complex, with a fine streak of minerals and aromas of cassis, berries, white pepper and tapenade. Some wood spices, but theyâ??re quite restrained. Full-bodied, tight and long. A transparent and complete wine for the cellar. Try after 2028." , Reviewed on 16.01.25 by James Suckling
Falstaff 96 points: "deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections. delicate rim brightening. delicate nougat and black forest berries, plums in the background, fine noble wood nuances, candied orange zest underneath. juicy, ripe cherries, dark berries, fresh acid arc, mineral and persistent, elegant and endowed with length, promising certain ageing potential." , Reviewed on 01.01.23 by Peter Moser
The Wine Palate 96 points: "The 2022 Pape Clement is composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon with a yield of 35 hl/ha. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little subdued to begin, soon unfurling to offer evocative notes of baked blackberries, boysenberry preserves, and plum pudding, followed by wafts of cassis, violets, cedar chest, and cumin seed. The full-bodied palate is rich and impactful, delivering layers of bright black cherries and baking spices with a lively backbone and fine-grained tannins, finishing long and energetic. pH 3.70."

Yves Beck 96 points: "60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon Wunderschönes, tiefgründiges und komplexes Bouquet mit subtilen Noten von Holunder und Himbeeren sowie einem Hauch von Graphit und Lakritze, während hintergründig Reifungsnuancen auftauchen. Dicht und cremig und sogar leicht salzig im Auftakt, ist der Wein zu keinem Zeitpunkt exzessiv. Seine feinkörnigen Tannine bilden eine kostbare, charmante Stütze, die dazu bestimmt ist, den Wein über die kommenden Jahre zu tragen. Ein mundender, kräftiger, harmonischer und köstlicher Wein!"

Decanter 95 points: "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." Drinking Window 2025 - 2045, Reviewed on 04.04.23 by Decanter
