This Pessac-Léognan is my favourite next to Pape Clement & not being able to afford Haut-Brion 😁 Still not cheap @ £115-£130 now, but it’s worth it as a treat 👍 It just keeps getting better & better but is already divine 😍

Love this vintage of Pape Clement from a pristine btl showing the classic 70 Graves with an intoxicating nose of black plum fruits, cigar ash, mineral, cedar, iron, leather & dried herbs. — 8 years ago

Not as long of a finish as the pape clement but lovely nonetheless. Rather dry finish. Pine cone on the finish along with nuanced toasted coconut. Slightest bit of eucalyptus. Pencil shavings. — 10 years ago

Fun Italian outlier for our SB lunch from @Eric LaMasters noticeable depth and concentration. It unfurled slowly but I’d say it was right there with the Pape Clement and Silex for most unique wine of the day. — 6 years ago

This was a special bottle for me. By far the oldest Dagueneau I’ve had. Honeyed bruised yellow pear, caramel, lychee. A marzipan brioche quality reminiscent of an older Pape Clement blanc or Haut Brion blanc. Thought provoking and absorbing. I kept going back for more. Thank you for the deep pull @Matthew Beckman. — 7 years ago

🚨 From the man behind Pape Clement here’s a new Provence Rose for me @ £22 & it’s a beauty 😍 I could drink this all day in the 🌞 & is cracking for the price 👏 Now 2nd favourite Provence pink behind Domaines OTT Chateau Romassan that’s £31 so the best in this price point 👍 I’m buying a load for spring/summer 😍

GL tasting Pape Clement 10/18/17. Means tall oak tree. 60 Merlot 40 cab. Three vintages. '15 Nose of black berries and palette that's straightforward with some earthiness and medium finish. 8.8. 2010 nose that's black fruit and body with hints of wood and good structure. 8.9. 2005 nose that's complex with that autumnal secondary notes of age and good structure on palate and long finish. Rewards of aging. 9.0. Roland consulting previously but more moving away from me oak. — 8 years ago

A muscular wine to be sure but with so much elegance and finesse you can't help but appreciate the nuance. To me this wine is the epitome of Bolgheri and I prefer it far more than Sassicaia. A bold chewy soil, gravel and fruit driven treat that reminds me of Pape Clement in its Graves flavor profile and density. Ready now on pop but gathers momentum in the glass. — 9 years ago
