Lilium 2022 Chateau Climens

Professional reviews

More concentration than Asphodele but aromatically a little shy. Greater tension on the palate, though, keeping the wine upright and long. Will have to see how it develops.

The maiden 2022 Lilium (FYI, Latin for lily) is more or less the same as the Asphodele but represents a selection that is aged in WineGlobe. It has a light Granny Smith and white flower-scented bouquet that offers slightly more presence than the Asphodele. The palate is well balanced with a more resinous texture and seems to have more matière. Texturally satisfying, this is one to look out for after bottling, though quantities will be limited to 3,000 bottles.
