Information on the vintage 1970 red Bordeaux: A highly important vintage in many ways: its fine quality and its timing provided a jump start to the wine boom which was already hotting up during the 1967, 1968 and 1969 vintages.

The 1970 Pape Clement was...shocking...in terms of its precocity. This bottle was acquired in Bordeaux and the level was as good as you could expect given that it was 46 years old. Quite deep in colour, the bouquet is just wonderful with smudged black fruit, warm gravel, clove and bay leaf. It exudes Graves-like aromas and conveys superb vigour. The palate shot well above my expectations: very well balanced and laden with black fruit. There is real weight and presence here, touches of sandalwood, clove and a subtle pine needle note emerging with time. It seems undiminished with age, a 1970 Graves that is doubtlessly overlooked by cognoscenti. Well, I am here to tell you that this is actually superior to the 1970 Haut Brion and ranks alongside the outstanding 1970 Domaine de Chevalier. Go seek.

Château Château Pape Clement
Château Pape Clement
Centuries ago, Pope Clement V, elected in 1305, was the owner of these lands. Château Pape Clément is one of the jewels in the wide range of vineyards owned by Bernard Magrez around the world. Based in Bordeaux, this great owner has made quality his battleground, his asset to face ever-increasing competition in the wine sector. Hence the care given to Château Pape Clément and to this terroir whose exceptional virtues have made Pessac's reputation for more than 7 centuries. At Pape Clément, pruning and leaf removal are of rare demanding standards, as is the hand-sorting of grapes. The winemaking and aging methods carried out at Pape Clément follow very strict rules. Everything is done at Château Pape Clément to allow nature to express its best without hindrance. With its Graves Grand Cru Classé 'Pape Clément' These are wines to cellar and forget, only to taste them two decades later as equals to the greatest.
