The critical wine authority for Asia.
A credentialed panel of Asian critics, scoring for Asian palates and Asian markets.
Where the panel pours next.
Tastings, masterclasses and trade previews across the region in the run-up to launch.
Founding Members always get first access and member pricing.
Reading with Asian authority and perspective
Articles are published twice a month, on the 1st and 15th.
Between Inheritance and Identity
Xavier Jean has been a faithful steward of Couvent des Jacobins. But CALICEM is what he made for himself.
A 100-point scale, blind by category.
Independent scores and tasting notes from the most credentialed panel in the region.
Scores are free for everyone. Full tasting notes are for members.
Every wine evaluated where it fits in the Asian market.
Tier I styles are always blind. Tier II origins are blind by default — when they aren't, it's stated on the note.
