LILIUM
Dry white wine Château Climens
- 2024 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
Like many wines from the Sauternes region, Climens has been producing a confidential 100% Semillon cuvée since 2022. Pressed without destemming, fermented with natural yeasts, and aged for eight months in glass globes, Lilium captures and blends the mineral tension of Climens' limestone terroir with the richness of Semillon, resulting in a perfectly pure (aged in glass) and fresh aromatic expression. A great dry white wine from southern Gironde is born!
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. »
