Producer Information
Chteau Climens is a wine producer located in the Sauternes village of Barsac on the left bank of the Gironde river, south of Bordeaux. It was classified as a first growth in the 1885 Classification of Sauternes and Barsac alongside other chteaux such as Guiraud and Suduiraut. Climens is one of only a handful of chteaux in Bordeaux that produces its wines from only one grape: Semillon. The wine is characterized by fresh citrus notes, white flowers and spice, which becomes more honeyed and concentrated with age. Semillon thrives on the limestone-rich soils in the vineyards. Botrytis develops on the grapes because of the misty mornings, humidity and warmer afternoons that are typical during the months before harvest. If the grapes are not of the highest quality, or if botrytis has not properly formed, owner Brnice Lurton and her team will not produce their top wine, the grand vin Chteau Climens. They have been bold enough in the past to declassify an entire harvest of fruit either selling the grapes off to other producers rather than bottling as their own or releasing wines under secondary labels.
