Château Climens Sauternes-Barsac Premier Grand Cru Classé 2014
Selected with intention
The 2014 Château Climens Sauternes-Barsac Premier Grand Cru Classé is a brilliant example of botrytized Semillon from this iconic Barsac estate, renowned for its unparalleled elegance and purity. The 2014 vintage, following ideal autumnal conditions, allowed for optimal development of noble rot. This wine displays a luminous golden hue and an intoxicating bouquet of candied apricot, orange marmalade, honey, and exotic spices, beautifully complemented by a delicate floral lift and a profound minerality. On the palate, it is exquisitely rich and concentrated yet remarkably vibrant, with a vibrant acidity that cuts through the sweetness, providing superb balance and freshness. The finish is exceptionally long, pure, and resonant, a testament to its Grand Cru status. An absolutely compelling Sauternes, with decades of aging potential.
