Chateau Climens 1er Cru Barsac
There is perfect harmony between this very demanding varietal and tes terroir, both of which are conducive to the development of noble rot. From this unique alchemy is born the inimitable balance, smoothness and incomparable finesse of the wines from Climens. As with the vinification, barrel maturation is adapted to the characteristics of each year, It lasts approximately 20 months, following which the fledgling wine, once bottled, will be able to fly alone and as it ages enchant many a generation of connoisseurs. It is a rare occurrence, but only five families have owned the estate from its origins and its surface area in a continuous single vineyard, has practically remained unchanged since its creation. The name Climens, which appears for the first time on a contract dated 1547, apparently meant unfertile or poor land in a local dialect: an admirable paradox for such a great terroir ! The vines appear to have been planted as early as the end of the 16th century, hence the chateau became one of the much-envied First Growths in 1855. Lucien Lurton, a specialist of terroirs and the owner of several famous classified growths in the Medoc, bought the domain in 1971. Since 1992, the chateau's destiny has been in the hands of his daughter, Berenice Lurton. She takes great care in perpetuating the magic of Chateau Climens, by ensuring that this legendary growth shines with evermore brilliance and elegance. (6 x 75 cl)
