"With their smoky and spicy bouquet, the red wines are of admirable quality and characteristic smoothness. The wine is concentrated, fine and harmonious, with a broad and precise aromatic palette. The depth and length in the mouth are exceptional. The quality of the terroir, sustained efforts and dynamism have paid off, bringing Pape Clément to a level very close to that of the Premier Cru." - cit. Figaro Vin.
