Grape Harvest at the Chateau Pape
Clement
From mid September to the end of October, the Château
Pape Clément vineyards hum to the harvest rhythm.
At the end of September you can lend a hand in selective
picking of multiple varieties of white grapes, take
part in the long slow pressing and in stirring the
lees. Such fastidious care has resulted in this wine
being awarded 100 out of 100 by Robert Parker, on
a number of occasions.In October when the early mornings
are cooler, you will have the pleasure of observing
firsthand the harvest of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon
grapes. After harvesting, comes the time to hand destem,
where patience and care are of the essence while taking
the grapes off of the stem, one by one. After your
initiation into the oenological arts you will be at
viticulture’s very heart and be able to share
some of the secrets of the wine masters.
