Climens 2009 is a sweet wine from the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux. With a history that spans several centuries, Château Climens is one of the most distinguished producers of sweet wine in Bordeaux. Only one of two estates classified as Premier Cru Classé in 1855, it has continued into the modern era its tradition of producing exceptional quality wines, renowned for their depth, elegance and longevity. "Rounded and broad in feel for now, with richly layered toasted almond, ginger cream, brioche and glazed apple notes that all glide through the viscous finish, where a flash of green tea can be found. This has the buried zip for the long haul, which it will need to assimilate fully. There`s lots in reserve. Best from 2015 through 2034." Wine Spectator, 2012

The 2009 Climens is much more vibrant on the nose than the 2010 with lovely dried honey, quince, saffron and light chamomile aromas. It blossoms in the glass and gains intensity with each swirl. The palate is very well balanced with a touch of marmalade on the entry, quite tensile from start to finish with a rather long, viscous finish. This is just beginning to motor. Tasted at the Climens vertical at the château in April 2022. Neal Martin18th August 2022

Tasted blind. Deep orangey gold. Creamy interesting nose. Racy and lively and lots of fun with masses of freshness and attack. (JR)Jancis Robinson14th February 2019
