Description

Chateau Climens has a lengthy and fairly well documented history stretching back perhaps 500 years. There are 29 hectares of vineyards at Climens, in two blocks adjacent to the house, planted entirely to Semillon vines (the Lurtons have replaced what little Sauvignon and Muscadelle there was with this variety), at a density of 6600 vines/ha and an average age of 35 years. The soil underfoot has a red hue typical of the soils of Barsac, and includes a thin layer of clay and ferruginous sand, over deeper rocks of fissured limestone. The land is a highpoint for Barsac, although it is actually at an elevation of only 20 m. Yields vary with the vintage, swinging between an incredibly low 9 hl/ha and a huge 25 hl/ha, the latter being in the great 1986 vintage; remember that the methods behind producing Sauternes will always mean yield figures are low when compared with those for dry red Bordeaux. Looking at just the grand vin, Chateau Climens, fruit destined for just this wine is harvested typically at 7 hl/ha.

From WineDoctor:
From a half bottle. An attractive yellow-gold hue, with a very bright appearance. The nose shows great freshness and purity, which I find delicious; there is orange, pineapple, honey and more. The palate has a fine weight, fresh yet substantial, always balanced out very nicely by the acidity. Lovely creamy fruit too, very elegant and delightfully poised; this is very fine stuff indeed. At ten years of age I think this has a long future ahead of it yet, and it has hardly revealed any of the secondary characteristics yet to come. I'm looking forward to future bottles. 18+ points
