Antonio Galloni also scored the wine 95-97 points. He said, “the 2020 has tons to offer.”

Fair Value
Pape Clément has a high correlation with Wine Advocate critic scores as can be seen in the chart above.
The 2020 Pape Clément had room to increase its prices due to its 97-point critic score from the Wine Advocate.
Nonetheless, today’s release is more expensive than the 2012 and 2019 vintages which have the same score.
The 2018, 2016, 2015 and 2011 also look good value at present.
