【Feature】Château Climens
A first growth Sauternes since 1855, Chateau Climens has long been called the 'Lord of Barsac' due to the incomparable elegance and freshness if its wines.
Climens' strong personality is derived above all from its unique limestone terroir and the unfailing professionalism of successive winemaking teams, Luncien Lurton, an emblematic winegrowing figure, purchased Chateau Climens in 1971. The estate was taken over by his youngest daughter in 1992.
Assisted by her team, Berenice Lurton manages Climens with the respect and tenacity it takes to make the most of this unique terroir. It is in the spirit that the estate has been entirely cultivated according to biodynamic principles since 2010.
