Château Pape-Clément Blanc--Vintage 2006
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Tasting note: Arguably the dry white wine of the vintage along with Laville, this is an extraordinary wine with the texture of a grand cru white Burgundy, the so-called gout de petrol that one finds in Coche-Dury Meursault-Perrieres, or one of the top Montrachets from the likes of Domaine Leflaive or Romanee-Conti. Honeyed orange, sweet melons, subtle smoke, stunning concentration, and a full-bodied mouthfeel make for an extraordinary expression of white Graves that should age beautifully for 15-20 years. The final blend from the tiny 7.5-acre parcel of this historic vineyard was 50 Sauvignon Blanc, 40 Semillon, 5 each of Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle. 98 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 181 (Feb 2009)
