Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate October - 2014
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The Climens 2001 has always possessed a deliriously complex and intense bouquet that is beautifully defined: dried quince and marmalade, honeycomb and antique furniture. There is an inchoate, resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so. This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting, sticks out from the crowd, a sui generis. Since I last tasted it, the palate has opened up and is beginning to pump on all cylinders. It is wonderfully balanced with fabulous intensity and a long, citrus-tinged finish that is utterly beguiling. As Kate Bush once sang: "Wow".

Bright, crisp, fresh and packed with layer after layer of sweet, honeyed, yellow tropical fruits, flowers, spice, vanilla, apricots and honey. Racy, long and intense, this is so good now, it is impossible not to grab a second glass.

So massive and unctuous yet with great freshness. Wonderful stuff with a slightly burnt edge. Great complexity. Long. Bravo!

Loads of orange peel and dried apricots on the nose here. Full-bodied, with a wild and exciting palate. Sweet yet racy. Electrifying. Great class and elegance. One of the best Climens I have tasted.

From half bottle. Dense aroma profile with saffron spice, fruit of quince, melons and dried apricots as well as honey and fine bees wax. Beautifully aged eve if I would have fancied one or two more aromas in the profile. The palate matches a certain viscosity with fresh acids, a super long finish and more honey notes. At the beginning of a very long drinking window. For me Climens and Suduiraut 2001 both continue to deliver on a par, but can’t quite match the layers and precision of Yquem.

Light green gold. On the nose, fine citrus zest, coconut, pleasant wood support, delicate yeast touch. Powerful on the palate, well-concealed alcohol component, delicate caramel, yellow fruits in the aftertaste. Good development potential, needs another two to three years.

They couldn't be more different, the full-bodied 1999 and this complete, complex, top-class wine. The power is balanced by the greatest freshness, density, complexity, structure and length... magnificent.

Château Château Climens
Château Climens
Chateau Climens, is a vineyard of 30 hectares located in the Barsac appellation.  Climens is ranked 1st growth by the official classification of 1855. The vineyard's 30 hectares are in all together in one parcel, the soil is composed of red sandy clay on a limestone base. The vines are 100% Semillon (which is a rare monocepage in the region), with a density of 6600 plants / ha for an average age of 35-year-old  vines 35 years old. Climens produces only a sweet white wine. Climens yields are particularly low, with an average of 7 hl / ha, or 4 hl / ha in the difficult years, to maintain quality and exceptional concentration. The estate produces a second wine called Cyprès de Climens in memory of a curious tradition: when the vessels were leaving port on the Ciron, they were given a branch of blue cypress to insure future payment. Overall the wines produced by Climens are consistently of a very high level. In fact, they are made with great care and high quality thanks to the high demands of Berenice Lurton.Great vintages: 1971, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2001, 2005.
