Brand description
Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest Grands Crus in Bordeaux, with its vineyards dating back to the 13th century. The vineyard was originally planted by Bertrand de Goth, the youngest son of a noble Bordeaux family. He went on to become Pope Clément V after being elected in 1305 during Philippe le Bel's reign. The estate remained in the possession of the Archbishop of Bordeaux until the French Revolution. It was the first acquisition of Bernard Magrez, who has honored the wine-making philosophy and traditions established by Pope Clément V. This winery has a rich history, producing wine for seven continuous centuries.
Brand goals
Bernard Magrez, owner of four Grand Cru Classé estates in Bordeaux, aimed to connect the Château with wine lovers through an accessible NFT-based membership program.
Château Pape Clément laid the foundations for a new form of membership to create the gateway to unique and privileged experiences.
