What you’ll do

Embark on a journey to discover the 7 centuries of history of a legendary Grand Cru Classé from Graves. Your adventure begins in the castle vault, where you will be told the story of Pope Clement V. After this introduction and a visit to the vineyard, enter the wooden vat dedicated to the vinification of red wines. Finally, step into the barrel cellar where our wine rests for 16 months and discover the subtleties of successful aging.  At the end of this tour, you will taste three wines from Château Pape Clément, including the red Grand Cru Classé de Graves and the confidential white cuvée. A parallel will be drawn throughout the visit between the wine of yesterday and today in order to understand the evolution of the elaboration of a Grand Cru Classé over the centuries.
