Winemaker Notes

Owner Bernard Magrez has made serious investments here since the late 1990's and recent vintages have been outstanding thanks to extremely low yields, labourintensive sorting of grapes and modern wine-making techniques. Prices are moving up at Pape Clément but so is the quality, which bears no relation at all to the weedy wines of the early 1980's and before. The 2009 looks like Vintage Port. This is thick and unctuous, jam-packed with fruit. There is a lovely sweetness on the palate and although this is a powerhouse it is not over-done. Inky with Impressive depth and still typical of its origins despite the high level of winemaking. A huge wine. The one thing that it lacks is charm.  

About Winery
Chateau Pape Clément owes its name to its most illustrious owner. A man of the cloth born in 1264, Bertrand de Goth became Bishop of Comminges, in the Pyrenees Mountains, at the age of 31; he later became Archbishop of Bordeaux in 1299.

He then received as a gift the property in Pessac, the Vineyard de La Mothe. Taken by a passion for the vine, he continually took part personally in equipping, organizing and managing the domain in accordance with the most modern and rational practices. Nevertheless, on 5 June 1305 the cardinals met in a conclave in Pérouse and appointed him to succeed Pope Benedict XI, who had passed away prematurely after only eleven months of reign. Bertrand de Goth took the name of Clement V.

Supported by Philip IV, it was he who decided in 1309 to move the papal court to Avignon, thus breaking with Rome and its battles of influence. During this same period, the weight of his responsibilities led him to relinquish his property, giving it to the Archbishop of Bordeaux. Henceforward, the vineyard was to be known to posterity under the name of this enlightened pope.


Management under the clergy brings modernity The grateful Church perpetuated Pope Clement's work. Each archbishop in turn turned to modernity and technical progress, to the point of the wine estate becoming a model vineyard. In addition to especially early harvests, which remain one of its special characteristics, Chateau Pape Clément is without a doubt the first vineyard in France to align vine stock to facilitate labour.


At the end of the 18th century, the Archbishop of Bordeaux was dispossessed of his property. The papal vineyard became part of the public domain.


8 June 1937 was a dark day in the vineyard's history, when a violent hailstorm destroyed virtually the entirety of the estate. Two years later, Paul Montagne bought it and gradually brought it back to life. Thanks to his efforts, the vineyard returned to its former rank and stood up to the surge in urbanization. His descendents, Léo Montagne and Bernard Magrez, perpetuate this secular tradition so that Chateau Pape Clément wines continue to delight the wine-lovers of today and tomorrow.

NOT pine tar soap.
Scent: Cedar
Does not smell like cedar, does not smell like pine tar, smells flowery. Fine if that's what you want but I ordered pine tar soap...

A Noticeable Upgrade from Regular Soaps
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Leaves skin soft, smooth, and refreshed without dryness I’ve tried plenty of big retail soaps over the years, but this one stands out right away. The bar lathers nicely and leaves my skin feeling noticeably smoother and never dry, which is a huge improvement compared to what I used before. The scent is clean and subtle, not overpowering, so it works well for everyday use. I did expect the bar to be a little bigger, but it has held up better than I thought it would, making it worth the price—especially since I picked it up during a sale. Overall, this is a quality soap that feels more refined than the usual options, and I’ll definitely keep it in my rotation.

Works well
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I just wanted to update my review as I have had more time to review the product. The presentation is well done and in a nice looking box. Initially it did not smell the best in the box but when it gets wet it has a mild smell that is pleasant. It has a great lather, the exfoliating beads feel good, and it does work well. Great product but the smell is mild.

Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Purchased to try something new. Very good product, smells nice and cleans well. However the scent did not last as long as hoped during the day. On the other hand, if you use it just before a date, it will be just right.
