This was a gem with the cheese platter before dessert rolled in. Expressive nose with apricots, quince, smoke and a touch of saffron. Wonderful.

Orangey coppery. Full and barley sugar – not as brisk as the 1974. Bit of citrus peel and drying out on the end. Bit of dryness and vitality. Bitterness of grapefruit peel.

Most recently: a light, quite good, creamy fragrance; still sweet, rich, assertive, with caramel aftertaste.

Château Château Climens
Château Climens
Château Climens is a 30-hectare wine estate located in Barsac, Gironde. In the Barsac AOC, it is classified as a Premier Grand Cru in the official 1855 Bordeaux classification. The 30-hectare continuous vineyard sits on red clay-sand soil over limestone. The grape variety is 100% Sémillon (one of the few single-variety vineyards in the region), with a density of 6,600 vines/ha and an average vine age of 35 years. Climens produces only sweet white wine. Climens' yields are particularly low, averaging 7 hl/ha, or even 4 hl/ha in difficult years, allowing for exceptional quality and concentration. The estate produces a second wine called Cyprès de Climens or Les Cyprès de Climens, in memory of a curious tradition: when boats paid their toll (right of passage) on the Ciron, they were given a blue cypress branch to prove payment. Outstanding vintages: 1971, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2001, 2005. Overall, the wines produced at Climens are consistently high-flying and of high quality. This is due to the high-quality production standards demanded by Bérénice Lurton and her team.
