Tasting note
Château Climens, a First Growth Barsac since 1855 was acquired by Lucien Lurton in 1970. His daughter Bérénice, together with the Moitry family, craft exceptional biodynamic wine rivaling d'Yquem. A masterpiece of flavours: dried apricots, marmalade, Crème Brûlée, and fresh hive honey, balancing lusciousness with vibrant acidity.
Viticulture
Harvesting at Climens is extremely delicate. An experienced team sorts out and gathers only the grapes affected by the famous Botrytis Cinerea, the Noble Rot.
Vinification
Wine processing is done in barrels in order to intensify each batch’s complexity and balance before proceeding to a very meticulous combination. Maturing goes on for 18 months in barrels renewed by 35 to 60% each vintage.
Food Match
To pair with pastries, duck foie gras, ham and mushrooms.
