Barsac

Barsac is one of the communes of the Sauternes appellation. With marginally flatter land and soils of red sand and light gravels, it adjoins the northern boundary of the commune of Sauternes. There are just over 800 hectares under vine, producing nearly two million bottles in an average year. Stylistically the wines are arguably a little lighter in style than those of Sauternes.

2015 Berry Bros. & Rudd Sauternes by Ch. Climens
Chateau Climens, Drink now,
This exquisite wine has been carefully vinified for us by one of the finest châteaux in Sauternes, Ch. Climens. The fruit comes from different parcels within the vineyard, producing a wine with classic honey and orange blossom notes on the nose. The palate is intensely sweet yet beautifully balanced by fresh, lively acidity. It will pair brilliantly with a tarte tatin or with blue and goats’ cheeses.

2015 Ch. Suau, Sauternes
Château Suau, For laying down,
Corinne Biarnes has recently taken control of this seven-hectare property, which was established by her father in the early 1960s, but subsequently leased to another grower. As they are throughout the appellation, the grapes here are rendered sweet by “noble rot” or botrytis – a phenomenon which is surely one of the wonders of the wine world. 

Light gold in colour, this offers aromas of honey and lemon confit. The palate is rich and textured, but with greater freshness and vivacity than many a Sauternes – meaning this is a great option as an apéritif, as well as a classic dessert wine. Drink now to 2025.

Chateau Coutet, Barsac, For laying down,
Very rich, deep aromas of lemon verbena, peach, cinnamon; enticing. Rich, dense and suave palate, with a honeyed richness to the spicy, fresh citrus and apple jelly flavours. A large-scaled Coutet showcasing a hint of passerillage (dried grapes). Outstanding, but I prefer the 2014.

Rich, bitter orange and apricot nose. Pretty viscous considering the lower RS but lovely tangy acidity. Long, full of spiced barley sugar flavours, but with a slightly abrupt finish, perhaps a slight phenolic grip combined with the high acidity. Bags of character.

Very lemony and floral, with precise, delicate aromas and flavours of citrus and saffron. A gentle wine – almost dainty in fact – and very pure, with lipsmacking acidity. Denis Dubourdieu said he won’t likely keep this in barrique for longer than 12 months.

2015 L'Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne, Barsac
Ch. Doisy-Daene, For laying down,
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc! ‘It was the first time we ever dared to do it,’ said Denis Dubourdieu. Elegant if reticent nose of lemon jelly, melon and saffron. Extremely rich and concentrated on the palate with a viscous mouthfeel and pure, fresh citrus and sweet spice flavours. Three barriques only were made, with roughly 204g/l residual sugar and 9g/l total acidity. Excellent and racy but lacks the weight provided by Semillon.

Chateau Doisy-Vedrines, Ready, but will improve,
Ch. Doisy-Védrines is one on the most consistent wine properties in Sauternes, delivering near-perfect liquid gold year-in, year-out. What I love about this property is the freshness they give to the wines, which makes them approachable very early on, but also builds the backbone for very long-term ageing. 2010 is no exception to this; it is very fresh on the approach with lovely tropical fruits, apricots, and gorgeous long and precise sweet finish. It is in my top three Sauternes this year.

Chateau Coutet, Barsac, For laying down,
Ch. Coutet is one of the largest Barsac properties and has been owned by the Baly family since 1977. Classified as a Sauternes Premier Cru Classé, Coutetis located in the south of the appellation. The wines are aromatically complex and lusciously concentrated.

Ch. Coutet is really pretty in 2013. It is rather light and more floral than many from this vintage and shows lots of engaging acidity. Focused, showing signs of dried apricots and even a little mango, this is very tasty wine indeed.

Ch. Doisy-Daene, For laying down,
Nothing better than a fresh glass of Sauternes!! Every time I have one I just think “why do I not have this more often!!”. Following from great 2001-2005-2009-2010 the 2011 is yet again a very strong Sauternes vintage and Doisy Daene is one of the best when it comes to the combination of both elegance and freshness. Although sweet it is one of these wines that drinks effortlessly. Lovely perfumed sweet nose, pineapples and peach. A touch sweeter than usual for this wine but extremely well balanced and lovely fresh elegant long finish.

Chateau Doisy-Vedrines, Ready, but will improve,
One of the stars of the sweet wines this year and seemingly indicative of a strong showing for the commune of Barsac. The bouquet is truly a thing of beauty, with pure, vivid aromas of citrus peel, apricot and honey. The palate is again wonderfully pure and clean, and the length, albeit with lowish acidity, impressive. The sweetness is very clean and not at all cloying.

2014 Ch. Climens, Barsac
Chateau Climens, For laying down,
As usual the assemblage of Climens will not be finalised until close to bottling. The 2014 will be almost 100% Grand Vin and was picked between 25th September and 27th October in 6 distinct lots, ranging from 109g/l to 168g/l of residual sugar at a yield of approximately 6.5hl/ha. It is likely that the final blend will weigh in at around 14.5% alc, 146g/l residual sugar, resembling 2001 and 2007 but with better freshness. In general the lots showed the hallmark elegance and balance of Climens, in combination with beautifully rich tropical fruit, spice and a lovely minerality. The structure here crafts a wine that will give pleasure for well over half a century and a finish that goes on and on. An world class sweet wine by Berenice Lurton! Approximately 1,250 cases will be produced.

2009 Ch. Climens, Barsac
Chateau Climens, For laying down,
Picked in just two tries, 90% picked in one trie, tasting through 13 separate lots, the core components of a great Climens appear to be in place. Paying particular attention to the lots that constitute a large percentage of the blend (usually around 15%) the common themes are ones of great purity, persistency and precision.

The aromatics display pure honey, minerals, occasionally a faint scent of spearmint and white peach, most with spellbinding precision. On the palate, Berenice Lurton has some stupendous lots at her disposal, with ample botrytis, ethereal definition, one or two more powerful, quite spicy lots and others that are shorter and will undoubtedly lend the blend an acidic cut. It will be a joy to taste this after bottling.

2004 Ch. Climens, Barsac
Chateau Climens, Ready, but will keep,
Displaying the property’s trademark grace and elegance, the 2004 Ch. Climens is perfectly balanced with sumptuous, honeyed fruit blending effortlessly with a pure core of citrussy acidity. This is a wine that deserves to be matched with the finest food, such as a rich foie gras du canard, mature Comté cheese or a fresh vanilla crème brûlée; indeed, it would be a delicious choice throughout dinner with all of the above!. Often referred to as the ‘Lord of Barsac’, Ch. Climens can trace its history back to the 16th century and boasts an enviable 200-year-old reputation as the finest estate in the Barsac commune. Bérénice Lurton, of the famous Lurton dynasty of Bordeaux, has merely enhanced this reputation since she took over the property in 1992. Yields are tightly restricted and wines are only ever made in good vintages.

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 remains wonderfully vibrant, leaving magical flavours of sweet orange blossom in the mouth. Owner Bérénice Lurton has produced some fabulous wines from this celebrated Barsac estate in recent years but her 2007 is truly sublime. Buy as much of this as you can.

This is one of the leading wines in Barsac, renowned for its elegant wines. 2003's heat has aided the production of a sweeter than usual wine from Coutet, yet without the loss of its characteristic delicacy and aristocratic balance. With floral, honeyed citrus aromas, and a mineral-rich peachy palate, this is intensely sweet and succulent, yet feminine and fresh. The finish is clean and very long. Exquisite.

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.

Chateau Doisy-Vedrines, Ready, but will improve,
Anybody who has tasted the sensational 1989 Doisy-Védrines will want to snap up the equally good 2007 in an instant. As well as being one of the sweetest wines of the vintage it is exceptionally elegant and well-balanced. The nose is marked by intense, icy-cool tropical citrus while the rich yet fresh palate has wonderfully pure, sweet creamy pineapple fruit, plenty of botrytis and fine balancing acidity. The finish is incredibly long and precise. Made from 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, this is a magically sensual Sauternes at an outstanding price.

This is another mouthwateringly good effort from Ch. Coutet. One of the classics of the region Coutet has once again provided a model of elegance and balance and style in 2005. Discreet and stylish, the fine pale colour and graceful, aromatic floral bouquet are supported by a beautifully harmonious palate of pure sweet citrus, peach and honeysuckle. As with the finest red wines of the vintage, the class really shows on the finish, which is intense, complex and exceptionally long. A wonderful Sauternes for the true connoisseur.
