Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 95-97/100
The 2020 Pape Clément is so impressive. Red cherry, plum, cedar, mint, tobacco, blood orange and rose petal all build as the 2020 opens in the glass. Vibrant and beautifully delineated, the 2020 has a ton to offer. The 2020 exudes purity, energy and breathtaking balance. It is one of the finest recent vintages I can remember tasting.

The Wine Advocate – 96-98/100
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Pape Clement comes barreling out of the glass with bold notes of cassis, plum preserves and licorice, giving way to scents of cedar chest, crushed rocks, charcoal and pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly coiled with beautiful tension and a firm, finely grained texture locking in the layers of black fruits and minerals, finishing with great length and energy. The blend this year is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot, aging mainly in French oak barriques, 66% new, with about 10% aging in large oak foudres. The wine will spend approximately 18 months in barrels.

J.M. Quarin – 94/100
Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr, frais et fumé. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, savoureux au milieu, avec un beau toucher caressant, le vin glisse sur le palais et vient s’achever sèveux, long, juteux et noble dans son grain et ses arômes. Longueur normale.
