About
Grand Cru Classé de Graves
The first harvest at the estate took place in 1252. At the time, the chateau was known as Domaine de la Mothe.
The name Pape Clement relates to Pope Clement V who was given the estate by his dying brother in 1306. The Pope was famous for contributing to the development of viticulture in France.
The existing castle was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1864.
Since 1980s the chateau is owned by the legendary wine entrepreneur Bernard Magrez who brought back the fame of the chateau and brought it to success. In 2009, the white of Chateau Pape Clement was given 100 Parker points and so did the red wine a year later.
