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. — 5 years ago

Vintage 2017 | Cuvee made from 70 year old vines Syrah. After 4 hours in decanter beautiful: morellocherries, elegance. After 24 hours in decanter: a feast of explosive red fruit. Awesome balance. Top notch Rhône. — 5 years ago

A constant reminder that we should be buying more Sancerre (and less Sauvignon Blanc) at home. — 6 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 — 6 years ago

Star bright yellow gold. Inviting nose of yellow apple and lime rind. Echoed on the medium light palate with sharp flinty mineral and firm acidity. Lengthy finish trends toward grapefruit rind and slate. Jolivet’s Implipeaux property gives a solid silex experience that’s at home with haute cuisine (poultry and seafood in particular) and will upscale more everyday fare. Drink now through 2027. — 4 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! — 5 years ago

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 — 5 years ago
