We had an amazing tasting with Hugh. He was knowledgeable, funny, charming and an exceptional host. We are a group of rather 'accomplished wine drinkers' who know a fair bit about wine production. We learned some great new things about the the vinification process at Pape Clement. 100% recommend this amazing tasting and a big thank you to our wonderful host, Hugh!

My father and I had a phenomenal time! It was very easy to access from central Bordeaux. It was a beautiful estate and really enjoyed the tour hosted by our wonderful guide Elise! We highly recommend this and look forward to returning in future.

Informative! Professional. One of the nicest and memorable tours we took while in France. We were able to find this chateau wine in our local wine store for $65. What a treat! Can’t wait to try it!

We were a group of four. I have been on a lot of vineyard visits with work in the wine business but wanted something that would appeal to 3 friends who have less wine experience. This was perfect , it was a memorable experience. The tour of the winery and vineyards was the perfect length ( about an hour) and with the correct amount of detail. It is a stunning property and was seen in its very best light on a glorious Autumn day. Our guide Eloise , was incredible, very good at passing on her knowledge and handled the mixture of questions with great charm and grace. We then went into the wine lab for the blending experience. This was great fun and everyone in the class clearly enjoyed it . The prefect mix, you tasted the single grape varieties and then you made your own blend and got to take home the finished bottle. They were very generous with the amount you were able to try during this experience. We then purchased a bottle in the wine shop of the property to drink on the terrace with some of their very tasty nibbles. A lovely couple form the class joined us and we made two new friends and we all ended up going on to dinner together in really good local restaurant. I can not recommend this Chateau highly enough for a visit. It is stunning , wines are amazing, staff were fantastic, particularly Eloise.

My wife and I had a wonderful wine tasting experience at this beautiful château. We did a two hour tour which included nice views of the vineyards, a trip to the cellars and a thorough explanation of the wine making process. We then got to try a lovely selection of wines from all over France. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and it was an authentic experience. I'd highly recommend.

The experience was great. The tour guide was awesome and did a great job in creating a light atmosphere and a great mood for the visit. Also knew a lot about the wines and winemakers. Great experience and easy to arrive by public transport.

On a whim, we booked this Chateau and stayed for a night. Oh my goodness… we had no idea what a wonderful experience we were in for! The Chateau and grounds are amazing! We were greeted by a wonderful hostess and a glass of wine, then showed around the Chateau and explained the history which was so interesting and impressive. Personal collections of items are out for you to enjoy… from the Baccarat chandelier to Napoleon’s chairs, a plate made by Picasso, and original artwork. It was staggering! Our room was beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was out of this world, home made breads, jams, granola, eggs, cheese & meat plate, fruit, yogurt and a delicious latte. We couldn’t even eat it all! To top it off, a handwritten note from Bernard Magrez. Every minute was just beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer - but now that we know of this wonderful place, we will be back again & again!!

We totally missed our English tour but made it just in time to walk the lovely grounds and tag onto a French tasting tour. Extremely crowded tasting area and too much merch piled everywhere. Nice wines though.

From the moment we stepped into Château Pape Clément, we knew we were in for something special. The chateau itself is a masterpiece – ivy-covered walls, ancient charm, and gardens straight out of a fairy tale. Our tour guide was a sommelier extraordinaire. They whisked us through centuries of winemaking history, from vineyards to cellars. We may have pretended to be characters from Game of Thrones – blame it on the ambiance. But let’s talk about the wine. Oh, the wine! Each sip was a revelation – blackberries, oak, and a hint of stardust (okay, not stardust, but it felt that magical). We left with bottles tucked under our arms, promising to savor them during rainy days and celebrations alike. Verdict: Château Pape Clément isn’t just a winery; it’s a symphony. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a curious novice, this place will leave you humming its tune long after you’ve bid adieu. Highly recommended – because life’s too short for mediocre wine. 🥂

Because I chose to walk from the centre of Pessac I was a little late but everyone was very gracious about that . I found that both the tour and the tasting were pitched at roughly the right level . The 5 senses tasting was quite interesting and certainly jolted one's complacency about one's level of knowledge on a practical level.
