Decanter, December 2017

This stands out from the rest - white flowers, bitter orange, mandarin and smoked caramel are met at every step by lift and tension. A beautiful wine that keeps on delivering. Read more at...

This great Barsac is just beginning to open up and not only has incredibly fine mango, papaya and star-fruit character but also something mineral. Great concentration and textural complexity right from the tip of your...

Lastly, the 2015 Château Climens is unquestionably in the same league as the 2011 and 2014, with slightly more elegance and freshness. More exotic notes of honeyed limes, tart apricots, white flowers, and lavender honey...

Wine Spectator, January 2018

Gorgeous, offering a range of orange, almond and brioche notes backed by lively citrus oil, green tea and ginger accents. Rich but tightly coiled nonetheless, with lots of energy lying in reserve on the finish. Will...

This is exceptional, precise, carved, fleshy chamomile, white tea, cumin, pineapple, pink grapefruit, fabulous, lime zest and white flower blossom. Expansive and slate textured. 130g/l residual sugar. A touch of VA, but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2018

(95+ points) Pale lemon in color, the 2015 Climens is just a little closed, offering up lovely lemon curd, lime juice and apple tart notes with touches of acacia honey and paraffin. Fine, fresh and elegant in the mouth...

Vinous, June 2025

(93+ points) The 2015 Climens offers dried honey, baked bread, saffron and Mirabelle plum on the nose that is well defined, if not endowed with the vigor of its peers. The palate is well balanced with admirable purity...

This graceful, sweet white wine exhibits the quintessence of Sauternes with balance and freshness, strength and subtlety.

The extraordinary aroma is a perfume of flowers, fruits, spices, and often even a hint of eucalyptus or fresh mint. In their youth the wines are dominated by citrus fruit (grapefruit, lemon, citron), fresh fruit and white flowers. Sweet spices and other deeper, confected fruit flavors develop with the passing of time. Whatever the vintage, the wines age slowly, retaining their harmonious blend of sweetness and freshness for decades.
