The Château Climens Premier Cru 2005, presented in a 0.375L bottle, is a magnificent Sauternes from Barsac, crafted from botrytized Sémillon. This 2005 vintage displays a deep amber hue and a complex nose of honey, candied orange, dried fig, and exotic spices, with hints of toffee and minerality. On the palate, it is opulent and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of mango, pineapple, and caramelized fruit. The finish is long and refined, with a chalky mineral backbone. Biodynamically produced, this wine showcases Climens’ mastery of sweet winemaking. Perfect with fruit tarts, foie gras, or blue cheeses, it offers a decadent experience. With two decades of aging, it is at its peak but can evolve further, making it a collector’s gem.
