CHATEAU CLIMENS Barsac 2016

The 2016 Chateau Climens is a head-turning blend made by the talented Berenice Lurton, who has managed this property since 1992. This 100% Semillon, dispplays a gorgoeus golden color and offers an exotic aromatic profile, with apricot jelly, pineapple upside down cake, butterscotch and shades of toasted hazelnut all coming together beautifully. Showing a marvelous combination of tension and viscosity, this goes on to display incredible elegance despite its obvious richness as flavors of lemon crème brûlée, vanilla cream, and orange marmalade that combine with a wonderful sense of acidity and a light salinity. While this is simply fascinating now in its youth, this remarkable new release will also have an exceedingly long life in the cellar.
