The name of Climens appears for the first time in 1547. The name derives from a family who must have inhabited the region in the 15th century although no direct link exists between a descendent of that clan and the estate. During the
classification of 1855, the Climens castle was classified first vintage.
It was always regarded as one of best Barsac can be because of the proximity of
Ciron or the composition of its grounds. Indeed, the fine argillaceous red
roller and ballasting on a calcareous base fissured permett a natural drainage
and a good penetration of the roots in the ground.

Château Climens is one of the leading property in Barsac and produces one of the

Between 1960 and 1971, the field knew problems but it was bought by Lucien
Lurton in 1971 and this one attempted to give again all its gloss with the wine
of Climens. Management is entrusted to Bérénice Lurton.

Chateau Climens 2000 Exceptional
Climens is often described as having a bouquet that is highlighted by
pineapple and apricot. Those fruits are also integrated into the taste of
the wine with hints of vanilla as well. Wines from Chateau Climens always
have excellent levels of acidity. This acidity keeps the levels of
residual sugar from becoming cloying on the palate. Chateau Climens makes
one of the great sweet wines of the world. 5 Stars Decanter Magazine
