Chateau Climens

Château Climens, owned by the Lurton family since 1971, is undoubtedly one of the greatest sweet wines in the world. Its vineyard extends over 30 hectares planted with Sémillon. Its soil is made up of fine gravel and red sand resting on a limestone base. The average age of the vines is around 35 years with an annual renewal of around 3 to 4%. The yield remains one of the lowest in the appellation in order to obtain a unique concentration. The pickers carefully choose grapes that are sufficiently rich in botrytis cinerea (the famous noble rot of Sauternes). After fermentation in oak barrels, the wine is aged for two years before being bottled.
