Le Clementin de Pape Clement Blanc, Pessac-Leognan

Remarkably good 2nd wine. Ripe and ready to go, great balanced acidity.

Well made white pessac leognan… m+ nose of lemond card, white peach, ginger spice… M+ acidity lifting up the wine very well and giving a great balance with the M+ flavours and M body .. at 5 years of age, the wine has developped a great complexity and texture ! Will buy again ..

Color: medium gold Nose: coconut and tropical fruits, like guava, maracuja. Very ripe peach. Yellow flowers in full bloom. Flint. A little boxwood. Very intense Palate: opulent full body with medium acidity. Confirms the nose aromatically with a lot of power. Texturally it's not too thick Finish: medium I'm no expert on white Bordeaux but this is clearly well made wine. It works well as a food wine when well chilled, but as it warms up this has a lot …

We drank 2 bottles while in the BVI. This review is about the second bottle. Dinner was skewered chicken prepared Greek style. The wine has dense citrus on the nose. Pineapple, grapefruit and lemongrass on the palate. Finish is medium. This needs a few more years in bottle to get to prime, but it's a great dinner treat right now with the right dish.

Forward, medium-bodied, elegant expression of yellow citrus with hints of orange and pear. Sweet, fresh and ready to go, you can enjoy this on release while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop.
