Chateau Climens, Sauternes (Barsac), 2011 so070123 4th of july offer all framed by bright acidityOne of Barsac's greatest estatesand this 2011 earned 97 points from Wine Spectator. Climens sits on a unique 32 hectare plateau of red sandy soils over 30 million year old fissured limestone, creating perfect drainage and botrytis conditions when morning mists from the Ciron River meet warm Garonne air. First documented in 1547, classified Premier Cru in 1855. Now 14 years old, this is honeyed, complex, and hauntingly beautiful. Premier Cru Barsac
