"The 1994 vintage at Chùteau Pape Clément is an unqualified success and this is one of the best wines I have tasted from this vintage in Bordeaux. At age eighteen, the wine is really just beginning to edge into its plateau of maturity, offering up a deep and classic nose of cassis, dark berries, cigar ash, gravelly soil tones, a bit of tobacco leaf and a nice framing of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, impressively full-bodied for the vintage and nicely complex, with good mid-palate depth, modest remaining tannin, lovely acids and impressive length and grip on the focused and classy finish. This is old school Pape Clément- at least in terms of its soil signature and complexity, and I am quite delighted to still have a goodly supply of this totally underrated wine still sitting in my cellar."

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.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
