Like many Sauternes crus, Climens has been producing a confidential 100% Semillon cuvée since 2022. Thanks to precision work during pressing and ageing in glass globes, Lilium expresses with a great purity the aromatic richness of this emblematic Sauternes grape variety, in a great gourmet white wine with a silky texture.
Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2024 Lilium, which is a selection of juice at the press that is aged in WineGlobes for eight months, has a light but pleasant and finely delineated bouquet with apple blossom, granite and hints of white asparagus. The palate is well balanced fresh and lively, with a brisk opening that gains a little more viscosity towards the finish, where one finds light wild peach notes. This is thoroughly enjoyable."
La Revue du Vin de France : 89-91/100 « Une proposition qui tranche par son amabilité et son immédiateté, un corps frais, aérien, mais tout en rondeur déjà suggestive, cajoleuse, avec de délicates suggestions aromatiques florales et lactées. »
