Château Climens

The Château is located in the famous Sauternes appellation, is a real gem in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region. 

This family-run estate embodies excellence in the production of sweet, syrupy wines, with a rich history and exceptional terroir that have contributed to its worldwide renown.

The history goes back several centuries. Founded in the 16th century, it has since remained in the same family for generations, making it one of Rares Domaines wineries in France to have preserved such long family continuity. The Bérénice Lurtons, who run the estate, have inherited this precious family heritage. This stability and tradition have enabled the family to perfect their art in the production of exceptional sweet wines.

Description Château Climens 2005.

Climens is a wine with a very strong, bewitching personality; all the acts and gestures of the winegrower's complex profession are relentlessly turned towards this objective: to rediscover each year, beyond and through the difference of the vintages, this particular grace that makes Climens so special and that so many passionate wine lovers fall in love with.

Authentic craftsmanship is the philosophy behind Château Climens.

In the making of our wines, we seek that singular brilliance that only the terroir of Climens can provide: a wine of harmony and magic that soars and never sinks..

"We know of no sweet wine in France with a bouquet as pure and elegant as that of Climens"

(La Revue du Vin de France - 2005)

"A very great wine, combining extraordinary fullness with the finesse and balance typical of the vintage"

(Michel Bettane - 2001)

"This is unquestionably one of the greatest vintages (1929) of one of the most consistently well-made Sauterness - perfection."

(Michael Broadbent)
