Château Le Pape Château Le Pape 2020 750ml

The 2020 Le Pape is generous, dark, rich and inviting. Black cherry, very elegant, nuanced and charming. Dark cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs are nicely delineated. Le Pape is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. In this vintage it is especially refined and vibrant. I loved it. (Antonio Galloni)

Emerging from the incredible team at Haut-Bailly, the 2020 Château Le Pape offers up attractive red fruits, spice, dried flowers, and tobacco notes in a medium-bodied, silky, incredibly elegant package. It shines for its complexity and nuance more than richness and power. (Jeb Dunnuck)

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Merlot for the 2020 Le Pape was harvested from the 9th, 11th and 15th of September, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on the 25th of September. Deep garnet-purple colored, it wafts sensuously from the glass with beautiful floral notes of lilacs and lavender, giving way to a core of kirsch, fresh blackberries and black cherries, plus hints of menthol and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is soft, refreshing and delicately flavored, delivering a compelling mineral-laced finish.
