Chateau Climens

Sauternes - Barsac, France
    • Avg Price (ex-tax)
    • $ 113 / 750ml
  • Certified Biodynamic
    • First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855.

      Expert tasting note: "Medium to deep yellow color. The aromas are wonderfully concentrated with rich marzipan notes, apricot & piquant orange fruits. The palate is very sweet, rich & full-bodied with a marzipan texture. Fresh acidity gives a juicy vibrancy to the ripe peach & nectarine fruit. There are honeyed touches and lovely concentration on the mid-palate. The alcohol is balanced & the honeyed fruit lasts well on the finish." - 04/24 (ep) DCAMW

Chateau Climens, Sauternes - Barsac, France

Excellent
2009 Vintage Saved: 2-May-2024
Medium gold color. Lovely lifted aromas of apricot, honey & nectarine etc. with perhaps a touch of orange peel overlaying it all. Very sweet, with clean, intense & appealing marzipan, honey, peach & mango flavors. Soft acidity & balanced to warming alcohol give a rounded sugary finish. 11/13 DCAMW
Very Good
2023 Vintage Saved: 29-Apr-2024
Medium to deep yellow color. The aromas are wonderfully concentrated with rich marzipan notes, apricot & piquant orange fruits. The palate is very sweet, rich & full-bodied with a marzipan texture. Fresh acidity gives a juicy vibrancy to the ripe peach & nectarine fruit. There are honeyed touches and lovely concentration on the mid-palate. The alcohol is balanced & the honeyed fruit lasts well on the finish. 04/24 (ep) DCAMW
Very Good
2019 Vintage Saved: 4-Apr-2024
The wine has a pale golden color. The aromas show hints of orange, mango & marzipan. The palate has a rich sweetness & is full-bodied. Ripe apricot & vivid orange peel fruit overlays marzipan notes on the mid-palate. Acidity is well in balance & the finish is honeyed. 10/23 DCAMW
Good
2012 Vintage Saved: 4-Nov-2023
Pale gold colour. Confected pineapple chip aromas & slight oxidative touches. Palate is luscious to very sweet and honeyed with hints of rot. Lasts quite well, but lemony acid is a touch low & the finish is a little sugary. 11/16 DCAMW
Very Good
2010 Vintage Saved: 4-Nov-2023
Pale gold color. Rich apricot aromas on the nose have complexing notes of spicy botrytis rot. The palate is very sweet, quite light-bodied & has flavours of light, runny-honey & marzipan. Acidity is a touch low & alcohol is balanced to low. A long finish ends sugary. 11/14 DCAMW
Very Good
2011 Vintage Saved: 4-Nov-2023
Pale golden color. Aromas are of marzipan & almond with a slight nuttiness. The palate is very sweet with nice freshness & marzipan flavors with honey. The wine is medium-bodied. The finish lasts well, but ends a bit sweet, perhaps just needs a touch more acidity. 11/15 DCAMW
Good
2008 Vintage Saved: 4-Nov-2023
Pale straw/gold color. Aromas are quite curious, combining intense rotten fruit with sulphury/mineral notes The palate is fully sweet & high-toned, with stone-frut flavors & touches of acetone. The wine is medium to full-bodied, alcohol is balanced & the finish is relatively short. 11/12 DCAMW
Very Good
2022 Vintage Saved: 28-May-2023
The color is a vibrant medium-yellow. The aromas are of honeyed apricot with a more high-toned honeysuckle perfume. The palate is sweet & honeyed with lifted orange notes , vivid orange peel & notes of candied lemon peel. The wine is medium to full-bodied with warming alcohol. There is a lovely fresh sweetness that carries on to the finish where vibrant mandarin-orange fruit ends sweet with a tiny touch of honey. 04/23 (ep) DCAMW
