Tight flesh, wonderfully athletic but without overdoing it. Next to the classic Chablis rigour, a silky, dense sensation is added, probably as a result of the wine's stay with the lees for several months. It is ripe but not with an intensely creamy and boringly buttery texture. Juicy citrus balances the mineral side of the wine and blends harmoniously...
Petite Lily is produced with the same care and attention as the estate’s more prestigious wines. It follows strict biodynamic practices and clearly expresses the limestone terroir of Climens. In short, it is a refined introduction to the estate’s dry wines at an exceptionally accessible price. Harvesting is done by hand, ensuring the highest quality of...
The name Asphodèle comes from the asphodel flower, a symbol of light and rebirth, a character that is reflected in the wine itself: bright, refined, and full of energy. It represents the renewal of a region through a different approach—perhaps atypical, yet extremely timely for its era. Vinification is carried out with respect and without intervention....
The vinification of Lilium follows the same biodynamic approach that defines Château Climens, where every step is carried out with respect for the natural environment. The wine ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures in small glass vessels (WineGlobes), reflecting the estate’s relentless pursuit of absolute purity in the wine’s character—a goal it...
Facing such a great terroir you can only stand in awe and respect. The effort to minimize interventions is aimed at enhancing the potential of the old vineyards. They seem to unfold their "memories" in the wine, giving great complexity and absolute balance. Without excesses, but full-bodied and rich, with charmingly ripe fruit along with multiple aromatic...
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks without the addition of commercial yeasts, relying instead on native fermentation. The wine remains on fine lees for an extended period, which imparts a pronounced “yeasty” character alongside the vibrant fruit. On the palate, the acidity is tense, sharp, and linear—bringing precision and energy that...
Sklavos' unstoppable experimentation both in the Robola zone on the slopes of Mount Ainos and on the peninsula of Paliki yield small quantity vinifications every year that through the philosophy of the winery elevate the sense of the terroir from which they come. Pernari is a single-vineyard vinification from a vineyard in the Lakomati subzone with its...
La Charme aux Prêtres is an elegant, expressive Aligoté with striking finesse. Aromas of verbena, lemon, and citrus leaves complement its crisp, mineral freshness. The low yields per hectare from the 1949 vines offer concentrated fruit without harshness, while on the palate it displays energy and maturity. Biodynamic cultivation, native yeasts, aging in...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
Let’s set aside any marketing gimmicks and focus on the essence of the matter. The two micro-batches of Kallos from 1979 Wines, from the 2023 vintage, are two stunning and fascinatingly different Retsinas. Initial research highlighted the quality of the aromas from a retsina harvested sustainably, and in a second phase, by taking this pure retsina—capable...
With Etna Bianco from the dramatic, dark, volcanic ash-filled terroir of Santo Spirito, Marco de Grazia takes fruit ripeness, complexity, and length on the palate to another level. Initially somewhat closed and compact, over time it unfolds a deep, earthy, mineral dimension and greater extroversion in the fruit, which borders on the exotic. The barrel is...
