The 2018 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend (roughly two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc), showing crushed black cherry, black plum, violet, star anise and iron ore, with a medium-to-full-bodied palate of grainy tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish built for extended aging.
Grilled ribeye steak with black peppercorn crust
Firm, grainy tannins and spice notes (star anise, cardamom) pair with the char and pepper of a grilled ribeye.
Braised short ribs
The wine's density and dark fruit concentration match the richness of slow-braised beef.
Five-spice roasted duck (Wu xiang kao ya)
The wine's own spice notes (star anise, cardamom) echo five-spice seasoning without needing chili heat.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Pessac-Léognan Bordeaux blend of power and elegance—dark fruit, cedar, and tobacco complexity.
Château Pape Clément is a historic Pessac-Léognan estate producing a classic Bordeaux red blend anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon (66%), with Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Franc providing structure and finesse. The 2018 vintage expresses the region's signature dark fruit character—blackcurrant and plum—layered with cedar, tobacco, and mineral notes that evolve with air.
Medium-full body and medium-high tannins frame a wine built for both near-term enjoyment and graceful aging, equally at home with grilled red meat, lamb, or aged cheeses.
