{"product_id":"chateau-pape-clement-blanc-pessac-leognan-2020","title":"Château Pape Clément Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eOnly 6 bottles remain of the Château Pape Clément Blanc Pessac-Léognan 2020, a wine that earned 100 points from Jeb Dunnuck and is now $139.95, down from $200. The estate has been guided into today’s era by Bernard Magrez, who has managed it since 1985. Its name goes back much further, to Pope Clement V, the 14th-century pope who moved the papacy to Avignon. The property in Pessac, the Vineyard de La Mothe, came to him as a gift, which makes this one of Bordeaux’s oldest names. The white is a rarity there, with only about 45 acres of the grounds given to the white varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 clocks in at 62% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Sémillon, 4% Sauvignon Gris, and 1% Muscadelle, aged in a mix of new and used oak, with fruit from separately managed micro-plots on the estate’s clay-gravel terroir. Dunnuck called it one of the whites of the vintage, and it was one of just two 2020 white Bordeaux to earn a perfect score from him. It opens with honeyed lime, ripe nectarine, white blossom, and a drizzle of orange marmalade, with crushed stone and a faint toasty, almost brioche warmth underneath. The texture is silky and layered, with white peach and pear carried on a stony, salty zipper of minerality. Fresh acidity keeps all that richness lifted rather than heavy, and the finish lingers with lemongrass, ginger, and garden herbs. A showpiece for Bordeaux Blanc, for certain, and an age-worthy white for any collection!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67558124847401,"sku":"1015014","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ChateauPapeClementBlancPessac-Leognan2020_1015014_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1793030203","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-pape-clement-blanc-pessac-leognan-2020","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
