Climens has been, for more than 50 years, the finest, the fruitiest and the most endearing of the Sauternes wines. Almost discreet in its first youth, Climens does not cease to develop and to refine itself in bottle. Biodynamic since the 2014 vintage. Magnificent 2016 "a fruit of an exemplary purity" noted 99/100 by the Revue du Vin de France.
Following 4 years of almost no production (none in 2017, 2018 and 2020, barely 1200 bottles in 2019), Climens changed hands in 2022.More- To keep or to drink:

Vinous (N .Martin-march 2018): 94/100 “The 2010 Climens is a little different from its predecessors, with notes of dried honey, tangerine, melted candle wax and a touch of barley sugar, perhaps even more delineated than in previous bottles. It almost glows with energy. The palate is medium-bodied with viscous, honeyed fruit, very harmonious although you could say this is a “young puppy”. Give it another ten years in bottle.
