Climens 2010
Château Climens, located in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, is renowned for its exquisite dessert wines made primarily from Sémillon grapes. The 2010 vintage is noted for its complexity and aging potential. This half-bottle size makes it an ideal choice for smaller gatherings, allowing for easier sharing while still delivering a full-bodied experience of this iconic wine.ry white Sauternes from the Barsac region, crafted predominantly from Semillon grapes. This vintage reveals a complex interplay of honeyed notes, citrus zest, and subtle undertones of botrytis, typical of the area’s unique terroir. Château Climens has been classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé since the 1855 classification, highlighting its historical significance in the production of sweet wines. This wine`s structure and depth make it a noteworthy addition to any connoisseur`s collection.
The 2010 Climens has just been a bit variable bottle-to-bottle. This was a transitional Climens as biodynamics was being introduced. Again, I find this a little subdued at the moment, perhaps going through a sulky adolescent stage. The palate is well balanced with a menthol-tinged entry, fine depth and acidity, more expressive towards the finish with a touch of lemongrass on the aftertaste. C'mon...show me what you can do... Tasted at the Climens vertical at the château in April 2022.
