Bernard Magrez 'L'Ame de Pape Clement' - Graves

This 2020 Bordeaux white hails from Graves, France. Pope Clement V adored wine and was eager to share his enthusiasm. Unable to make wine himself, he gifted the Chateau Pape Clement estate in Graves to a winemaker, with its first harvest in 1252. This white blend consists of 70% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Sauvignon Gris, and 1% Muscadelle. Aged in French oak barrels, it offers a creamy texture and full - bodied flavor. You'll detect lemon notes and a touch of spice on the finish. It pairs perfectly with a hearty pasta dish.

To enjoy this wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes before pouring. It's best served chilled at around 45 - 50°F. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, a rich pasta dish is a great choice, but it also goes well with seafood or creamy chicken dishes. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to maintain its flavor.
