Château Climens


Château Climens is the leading property in Barsac, Bordeaux and produces one of the greatest sweet wines in Bordeaux.

It can trace its history back to the 16th century and was bought by Lucien Lurton in 1971. It has been owned and managed by Berenice Lurton since 1992. Climens is located in the south of the Barsac appellation, just outside the small village of La Pinesse - the vineyards (Sémillon 100%) lie on the highest point in Barsac (20m above sea level) on a gravel/sand topsoil and a limestone/clay subsoil. Yields at Climens are tightly restricted and the wine is barrel-fermented and then aged in small oak barriques (one third new) for 22 months.

If d`Yquem is the epitome of power and concentration, then Climens is the epitome of delicacy, finesse and complexity. The wines from the best vintages can last for up to 50 years. Climens is classified as a Sauternes 1er Cru Classé

Grace and elegance is undoubtedly the trademark of Ch. Climens whose wines combine the rich, luscious character of great Sauternes with an inner core of citrussy acidity. The 2003 harvest had possibly more botrytis and richness than this estate has seen before. The result is the sweetest and most ... MORE

This is a jaw-droppingly good Climens that may just turn out to be the best they have ever made. With 100% Sémillon and, as ever, the epitome of delicacy, finesse and complexity, it is utterly sensational - possibly even better than d'Yquem itself. It has amazing depth and richness yet ... MORE

Really very exciting indeed. Limpid, very very sweet but with so much going on that for the first time in this tasting I swallowed it. Relatively low acidity but this wine is so dense it should last for a very long time yet is already rather gorgeous. Bigger sweeter than Suduiraut though possibly ... MORE
