Chateau Climens 2016 glides across the palate with luminous citrus and stone fruits layered over ripe mango and apricot, all cut by a vibrant, saline edge. The texture is rich yet lifted, building into a long, creamy finish seasoned with notes of toffee, toasted nuts and a hint of orange zest. A poised, energetic Barsac with both indulgence and precision.

Château Climens is a legendary Premier Cru Classé sweet white from Barsac in Bordeaux, produced exclusively from biodynamically farmed Sémillon on limestone and ferruginous clay-sand soils that promote exceptional drainage and the development of noble rot. Known for its purity, freshness and finesse rather than sheer weight, it typically offers intensely complex aromatics of honeyed stone fruits, citrus, florals and spice, with vibrant acidity that allows it to be both charming young and capable of very long aging.
