Château Climens is a wine producer located in the Sauternes village of Barsac on the left bank of the Gironde River. The only grape planted in the vineyards at Château Climens is Semillon, which thrives on the limestone-rich soils in the vineyards.The grapes are harvested and brought into the winery, plot by plot, where they are gently pressed before fermentation in oak barrels. Maturation takes place in French oak barrels on lees for about 20 months. Wines from the best vintages can last decades – a recent tasting of the 1921 vintage revealed a rich, balanced and zesty wine.
