The history of Pape-Clément dates back to the 13th century, when Bertrand de Goth, then Archbishop of Bordeaux, received these lands as a gift. When he was elected pope in 1306, he took the name Clement V and renamed his estate “Pape Clément” before bequeathing it to the clergy of Bordeaux, who were to maintain production for their own consumption. After the French Revolution, the estate passed through a long succession of owners, which seemed to be slowly leading it into decline; this was compounded by a devastating hailstorm in 1937 that threatened to put an end to its legacy once and for all. Fortunately, the estate was acquired in 1939 by agricultural engineer Paul Montagne, who initiated the estate’s revival, replanted the vineyards, and renovated the cellars before passing it on to his son Léo. Starting in 1953, successful vintages began to flourish once again, but from 1975 onward, a lack of investment once more compromised quality for about ten years. It was the arrival of the prominent Bordeaux wine merchant Bernard Magrez as a co-owner in 1985 that marked the definitive return to high-quality production—a resurgence solidified by the talent of the renowned winemaking consultant Michel Rolland. Rolland employs plot-by-plot vinification, a method that ensures the wine’s complexity and refinement: the grapes from the various plots are vinified in separate vats so that they can fully express their unique characteristics before being blended.
