Tasting notes
The Le Clémentin du Pape Clément 2014 is a blend of 64% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc picked September 24-October 20. It has a straightforward, fruit-driven bouquet with luscious black cherries and cassis fruit; what you might call a crowd-pleasing bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy black fruit, moderate acidity, but missing just a touch of complexity toward the finish. Still, this is satisfactory for a second wine.

Lots of lemon-curd and sliced-apple aromas on the nose. Full-bodied, layered and delicious. Cream, light vanilla and stones. Drink now and enjoy. Solid energy. Second wine of Pape Clèment. Drink now.
