La Mailloche is one of Domaine Tissot’s finest expressions of Chardonnay, clearly showcasing the character of the Jura terroir through a non-oxidative winemaking approach. Vinification is natural and low-intervention, with spontaneous fermentation in 228-liter oak barrels (approximately 15% new) and extended aging for a total of 24 months. The wine is...
Loureiro is the most important variety for the Vinho Verde region and in Paiva's hands it is celebrated. Portugal's first biodynamic winery doesn't stop its approach just there but takes a minimalist approach to the winery where it doesn't cloud its wines at all. He protects them by adding ground chestnut blossoms from his estate to the must, an idea that...
How can you find the perfect harmony in such a light wine? And yet this is the hallmark of Quinta da Palmirinha wines. Palmirinha Azal is a benchmark for the region, elegance of aromas, freshness, lightness but not lightness of style, and uniqueness in character. A wine for which it is difficult to put into words its aromatic and flavour dimension. It...
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...
Calderara Sottana perfectly captures the exceptional terroir of Etna. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in large oak barrels, which enhance the wine’s complexity and intensity without masking the uniqueness of the volcanic soil. Aromatically, smoky minerality, saltiness, lemon zest, floral notes, and hints of tropical fruit stand out....
