🏰The 2017 Château Pape Clément Blanc is a 【spectacularly performing white Bordeaux, hailed by Jeb Dunnuck with 97 points as one of the wines of the vintage】. This blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon offers powerful notes of honeyed melon, tart pineapple, green figs, and floral notes, alongside a terrific sense of minerality. It is concentrated, medium to full-bodied, with rocking levels of acidity, and a long, pure, exotic fruit finish. Expect aromas of pineapple, peaches, and apple pie with stone, and a taut, steely, and textured palate with citrus and white peach flesh. 🍴 This white Bordeaux is best served with a myriad of seafood dishes, shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi, chicken, pork, and veal, as well as Asian cuisine. It also pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken with creamy sauce, and fresh goat cheese. 🥂 An excellent choice for a celebratory meal, a sophisticated aperitif, or a thoughtful gift for a white wine enthusiast. Its complexity and aging potential make it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring for 15 years or more.
