Chateau Climens is the leading property in Barsac, Bordeaux and produces one of the greatest sweet wines in Bordeaux. Chateau Climens is classified as a Sauternes 1er Cru Classe
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 (Semillon 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.
