Premier Cru Classé Sauternes wine producer from the Barsac appellation, Château Climens boasts a reputation for producing world-class sweet wines. The 2003 offers up a profile of honeyed dried apricots and candied citrus peel carrying through to a weighty, ripe palate with lots of noble rot character.

Vinous
The 2003 Climens is missing a bit of complexity on the nose, just a little Alsace-like with age, a touch of petrol and quince. The palate is tangy on the entry, fine acidity considering the vintage, yet it lacks complexity and mineralité on the finish. I am not an ardent admirer of this vintage in Sauternes and feel that this is shown up by the superior vintages either side. Tasted at the Climens vertical at the château in April 2022.
