"The finest second wine ever made by this estate, the 2005 Le Clementin Pape-Clement is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. A wonderful introduction to its profound big sister, it is a soft, sexy, smoky, classic Graves with round tannins and loads of sweet currant and cherry fruit. All that a second wine should be. . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
In the Graves, the only Bordeaux appellation renowned for both reds and dry whites. Gravelly soils yield smoky, mineral reds and age-worthy Sauvignon-Semillon blends.
