2019 Château Climens Asphodele, Bordeaux

Fresh green apple and peaches combine with a floral hint on the nose of this beguiling dry wine. Tangy passionfruit comes through on the palate, alongside fresh-cut grass, and a murmur of beeswax. The wine has a smooth and gently rounded texture, before giving way to subtle honey and nutty flavours on the finish. Beautiful and delicate now, this dry Sémillon has layers of subtle flavour, and will evolve in bottle for another 5-6 years.
