Château Climens 2008 is a Premier Cru sweet wine from Barsac, produced entirely from botrytised Sémillon. The cool, drawn-out harvest delivered fruit of striking purity, yielding aromas of preserved lemon, acacia honey and saffron with a lifted floral edge. The palate balances richness with firm acidity, giving a sense of precision that defines the vintage. Layers of citrus zest, beeswax and spice build gradually, supported by fine botrytis texture. The finish is long and crystalline, its sweetness tempered by mineral freshness characteristic of Barsac’s limestone soils.

The 2008 Climens delivers 132g/L residual sugar. It has a much less expressive nose than the 2009: honey, wet wool, slightly petrolly in style. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, great depth and intensity, showing more clarity than the nose suggests. I would afford this another two or three years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted at the Climens vertical at the château in April 2022. Neal Martin18th August 2022
