Founded by the team behind Covenant Wines, Calicem was created as a no-expense-spared project to push Bordeaux craftsmanship to its limit. Consultant Thomas Duclos, known for his work with Pétrus, oversees 100% gravity-fed vinification in custom barrels and 22 months of élevage. The result is a wine of finesse and intensity — blue fruit, mineral drive, and silky texture — with the hallmark elegance Duclos brings to every project. At under $100, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bordeaux art that almost never leaves France.
