Planted in 1300, Château Pape Clément is the oldest wine estate in Bordeaux, having harvested its 700th vintage in 2006. It was a gift to Bertrand de Goth upon his appointment as Archbishop of Bordeaux, made by his brother, Berald. It received its name from the one adopted by Bertrand upon his appointment as pope, Clement V; upon his election in 1306 he gave the estate to his successor as archbishop, Cardinal Arnaud de Canteloup. Bertrand, who would later move the papacy to Avignon near Châteauneuf-du-Pape, planted this original vineyard with red grapes. White grapes were planted on the other side of the river near the town of Lormont. The vineyard remained the property of the archbishopric of Bordeaux until the French Revolution, when it was nationalized and sold as a national property.
