Give it a day to breathe. For young vines, short maceration, and steel aging, this is deep, mouth-coating (and slightly reduced upon opening), but dialed in with some air. Great value, $23 from Flatiron — 4 years ago

Still very good for the price, fresh, white orchard fruit, creamy and drinks so easy and well.

Very forward for a Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruit with some minerality on the nose. Persistent but not overpowering acidity with enough body to match. Some residual sugar on the palette as well. — 7 years ago

Star bright pale straw. Inviting nose of stony lime zest. Medium light palate yields lime (the fruit), lime (the mineral), and green apple peel supported by striking firm acidity from entry to moderate finish. Jolivet acquired this small (8 hectares) property in 2015 and the investment is definitely paying off. This is a premium Sancerre from a top producer that’s ready for shellfish, sushi, or soft cheeses (I’m having Professor’s Brie and two others). Drink now through 2025. — 4 years ago

This might be my favorite white wine I’ve ever had. Grassy, sophisticated, refreshing, flavorful as hell, and a little bit luxurious. Almost creamy, like a kusshi oyster. In fact, a bottle of this and a couple dozen of oysters would be 100% heavenly. — 7 years ago

Château Climens’s Bérénice Lurton collaborated with Pascal Jolivet (best known for Sancerre wines) to produce a beautifully complex, dry Bordeaux Blanc made exclusively from the Semillon variety. This dry product is a shift from the famously sweet wines made by Château Climens in the Barsac region.

The wine is pale lemon. At first blush, the nose offers powerful citrus and orchard-fruit notes such as meyer lemon, orange peel, and green apple notes. Also delicate notes of white blossom and cherry blossom. On the palate, the wine comes alive with honeyed characters and orange blossom. It has richness and notes of croissant, cream, and brioche from aging 8 months on the lees. The finish is medium(+) and while this youthful wine is drinking well now, I believe it could age.

Château Climens, Asphodele, Bordeaux Blanc. Vintage 2018. ABV 13%.

@Delectable Wine - this wine is 100% Semillon. Cheers! — 4 years ago

This was fabulous. Up there with Jolivet and Chavignol. Green apple, white peaches, mixed with a creamy smoky note. On the palate the wine is precise; clean grapefruit, white peach, wet rocks, and smoke. Perfectly integrated. Textbook Sancerre — 5 years ago

This was outstanding. Excellent value. Contender for best sb I’ve tastes along with Jolivet and Blank Canvas. So well balanced. Flinty, mineral character perfectly balanced with peach and kiwi fruit. Zippy zesty lemon giving spine. With Racquel in HK — 6 years ago
