Ch. Climens Petit Lily

Petite Lily is a different interpretation of Sémillon from Château Climens, compared to the estate’s dry “Grand Vin,” Asphodèle. The latter, first produced in 2018, marked the estate’s inaugural dry white wine—a true innovation for Château Climens, which traditionally specializes in sweet wines from the Barsac region. Asphodèle reflects the estate’s modern approach, highlighting the unique terroir and producing exceptional dry wines with a focus on energy and elegance. In contrast, Petite Lily is a lighter, more approachable expression of Sémillon. Also dry, it is crafted to be enjoyed immediately, with a fruit-forward profile that contrasts with the minerality and intensity of Asphodèle. Nevertheless, Petite Lily remains a perfectly crafted, complete wine—an excellent introduction to the world of Château Climens at an incredible value.
