The 2024 Pape Clément Blanc emerges from the glass with aromas of pear, confit citrus, lime and herbs, followed by a moderately weighted, supple and lively palate built around tangy acids that culminate in a fresh, fruity finish.

Clean and crisp, ripe lemon, honeyed melon, mint, and crushed stone notes emerge from the light gold 2024 Château Pape Clément Blanc. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, concentrated, fresh, and focused, showing the vintage's more rounded, charming style. It has beautiful balance and a long finish.
