History and anecdotes
Château Pape Clément is a Grand Cru Classé of Grave since 1959. The history of the vineyard goes back to 1252 and it was called Domaine de la Mothe. It was not until 1306 that the Château changed its name: Bertrand de Goth, then pope under the name of Clement V, gave his name to the property. In 1980, the tycoon Bernard Magrez took over the reins of the property and surrounded himself with Michel Rolland. In 2009, the quality of the white wine is recognized by the critic Robert Parker who gives the perfect score of 100/100.
