The Triolet blend, first produced at this vineyard in 1987, was inspired by the white wines of Graves, Bordeaux. Each variety is picked at optimum ripeness, and is usually fermented separately. The characteristics of optimum ripeness are different for each variety. We pick the Sauvignon blanc after the strong herbaceous flavours have disappeared, the Semillon when the acid is not too harsh, and the Muscadelle when the flavour intensity peaks.

A classic and refined style with some citrus characters framed by bakery and subtle vanilla spice, the iconic Triolet is a classic Bordeaux Blanc blend, incorporating the three varieties of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle. It was first produced by Mount Mary in 1987. The varieties are fermented separately in barrel with complexity and palate weight gained from extended lees contact and fermentation on solids.

A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon from Chateau Cos d''Estournel, the landmark producer from Medoc. Sourced from their vineyards in the south of St-Estephe, this detailed and gloriously textured white wine displays the complexities requisite of cellarable Bordeaux blanc wines. The wine is drinkable immediately, but will also reward those considering some mellowing and honeyed complexity that comes with cellaring.

The Cotat estate has a fascinating history that began in 1947 when brothers Francis and Paul started cultivating Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir on the slopes of the renowned "Monts Damnés" in Chavignol. They produced a single cuvée, each bottling under their own labels. Upon their retirement, the estate was divided between their sons, François and Pascal. François continues the family tradition, crafting exceptional Sancerre wines in an organic, old-school style. These wines are known for their distinctive, full-flavored character and are sometimes considered "atypical" to the Sancerre appellation. Pascal Cotat, despite being one of the smallest producers in France with only 2 hectares of vineyards, has earned a remarkable reputation in the Fine Wine world. He is renowned for creating Sauvignon Blancs that possess exceptional aging potential. Pascal's vineyards in Chavignol, specifically the Grande Côte and the Monts Damnés, are home to vines that are over 40 years old, adding to the quality and character of his wines. With a unique approach to harvesting, Pascal waits two weeks longer than other producers in Sancerre, resulting in wines with outstanding ripeness. The winemaking process at Cotat is meticulous, with both wines being fermented in old barrels and aged for 6 to 8 months before being bottled in the spring without any fining or filtration, preserving their natural essence. In a meeting with Pascal in September 2022, he expressed relief regarding the small volumes of the 2020 and 2021 vintages. He was content with the "classic Sancerre" quality of the fruit, which was scheduled to be harvested the day after the meeting. The dry season created optimal conditions for healthy ripening and enhanced aromatics. Moreover, there was some beneficial rain in September that contributed to a 30% increase in yields compared to the low-yielding 2021 vintage, approaching average yields. Cotat wines have gained a reputation for being old-style Sancerre, distinct from the norm found today. They are rich, full-flavored and sometimes not bone-dry. Renowned wine critic Robert Parker has praised Cotat wines, describing them as some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs he has ever tasted.

Renowned wine critic Robert Parker has praised Cotat wines, describing them as some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs he has ever tasted. This vineyard is home to François' oldest vines, with an average age of around 40 years. Over time, François has had to replant many of the very old vines due to the susceptibility of Sauvignon to viruses as it ages. Beyond 60 years, the vines become unproductive.

In 2013 only 2500 cases will be made (half the production of the last few abundant years and a fraction of the production of Ch. d’Yquem), but the final blend is not decided until early summer. Each barrel shows its individual character, but all had in common an energy, focus, persistence, depth and precision that makes this one of the wines of the vintage. The ethereal quality that I consider the hallmark of a great Climens was already noticeable as was an intense perfumed fragrance, which is the hallmark of the 2013 vintage. 2013 Climens is a jewel in the making and though its subtle elegance will make this approachable young, it has decades of ageing and evolving ahead.

The palate has sublime citrus flavours of lemon and passionfruit which perfectly merge with bright tropical fruit and a touch of grassiness. This results in a refreshingly crispy palate.

The harvest began very early, on the 5th September, and lasted 9 weeks. This made is possible to reflect all the diversity of a year in which both flowering and veraison were very spread out. Picking began especially early at Yquem in 2014. Some 25% of the crop was brought in before the 15th of September, providing a rare and precious background of acidity.
