Château Climens Barsac is bright sparkling golden yellow in color. In the nose complex aromas of botrytis, mandarin, dried apricots and a subtle amount of brioche. In the taste palette notes of lime peel, sweet ripe tropical fruit such as pineapple and papaya, honey, something of fresh ginger and vanilla, which are accompanied by beautiful nervous acidity in the salty, sweet and very long lasting aftertaste.
Grapes are literally picked by hand when they are optimally affected by botrytis. In the vinification cellar, after an extremely slow and careful pressing of the grapes, a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape own) yeasts takes place on oak barriques, 40% of which are new. When the desired alcohol content is reached, the temperature is allowed to drop very quickly to 3°C in order to stop the fermentation. Subsequently, the wine receives additional aging in the same barriques for a period of approximately 20 months in order to maximize authenticity and complexity. After this, the wine is not assembled and bottled without clarification or filtering. This process takes place entirely according to biodynamic rules and regulations.
Foie gras, crab and lobster, fruit salads, tarte tatin, caramelized pineapple, subtly sweet spicy Asian dishes and blue cheeses such as Stilton, Erborinato di Pecora Val Pusteria, Bleu de Basque and Roquefort.

Château Climens is a premier wine estate in the Bordeaux region of France, located in the Barsac appellation, which is part of the Sauternes wine region. The château is known for its production of exquisitely sweet white wines of exceptional quality.
Château Climens has a rich history dating back to the 16th century and has built up an excellent reputation ever since. The domain covers about 30 hectares of vineyards, mainly planted with the Sémillon grape variety, which is supplemented with a small percentage of Sauvignon Blanc.
The vineyards of Château Climens have a special terroir that is ideal for the development of Botrytis cinerea, also known as "noble rot". This fungus causes the grapes to dry out naturally, concentrating the sugars and creating the wine's signature sweetness and complexity.
Considered one of the absolute top producers of Sauternes wines, Château Climens has received numerous recognitions and high scores from wine experts and critics. The wines have excellent aging potential and can develop over the years, giving them even more complexity and depth.
