Chateau Climens 2012

Château Climens 2012, a jewel of Barsac and a Premier Cru Classé of Sauternes, is the very definition of purity and balance in a botrytized wine. Crafted entirely from Sémillon, this vintage showcases the estate’s biodynamic precision and the elegance of its limestone terroir. The 2012 expression is radiant rather than opulent — golden, vibrant, and exquisitely refined — offering a symphony of sweetness framed by striking freshness and minerality.

Château Climens 2012 is a masterclass in versatility — a dessert wine that transcends its category. Pair it with seared foie gras or roasted quail glazed with orange and honey to enhance its depth and texture. Its fine acidity makes it a sublime match for blue cheeses like Roquefort or Bleu d’Auvergne, cutting through their richness with precision. For dessert, enjoy it with lemon tart, pear clafoutis, or a delicate almond cake — the wine’s brightness will elevate each bite. For a modern twist, serve it with spicy Asian cuisine or sushi with mango and chili — the interplay of sweet and heat creates harmony and surprise. Chill slightly before serving to allow its aromatic complexity to bloom.
