Chateau Climens

Premier Cru Classe en 1855 Sauternes & Barsacc

Chateau Climens today, and over the past decade or two, has become one of the most popular producers of Sauternes wines. Located in the commune of Barsac, Climens is planted on perfect terroir to produce great sweet, Bordeaux wine.

The terroir with its soggy, damp, morning weather and a massive amount of limestone is exactly how the estate got its name. In fact, when Climens is translated from the local dialect, the definition means, infertile, poor land.

Chateau Climens has a long history in the Bordeaux wine region. It dates all the way back to back to 1547. In those days, it was spelled Chateau Clemenz.

Skipping ahead a few centuries to the 1855 Classification, not only was Chateau Climens given a status that was only bested by Chateau d’Yquem, that same year, the estate was purchased that same year by Henri Gounouilhou.

It remained the property of the Gounouilhou family until 1971 when Lucien Lurton of Chateau Brane Cantenac bought the property. Lucien Lurton purchased Château Doisy Dubroca in 1971 as well.

Starting in 1992, Chateau Climens has been managed by his daughter Berenice Lurton, who was only 22 years old at the time she took over the estate. A major replanting of the vineyard began taking place in 2000.

In July 2022, 30 years after she began to manage the vineyard, the estate, due in part to difficulties of Sauternes in the marketplace and to a relentless series of hail and frost storms over the past several vintages, which allowed Climens to produce only one vintage between 2017 and 2021 vintage, a majority interest in Chateau Climens was sold to Jean-Hubert Moitry, and Catherine Moitry through their family holding company, Patrimonia. This is their first investment in the wine industry. Bernice Lurton remains with the estate.

The 31-hectare Barsac vineyard of Chateau Climens is planted with 100% Semillon grapes. On average, the vines are 35 years of age. At one time, there was a minor amount of Sauvignon Blanc and a few Muscadelle vines planted in the vineyard. However, after the Lurton family purchased the estate in 1972, those vines were removed and replaced with Semillon.

The terroir is extremely chalky and filled with limestone, sand, clay, and small rock-strewn soils on the Barsac plateau. This is a perfect fit for the Semillon grape.

Even though the vineyard is one large block on the peak of the plateau of Barsac, it can be divided into 4 large blocks and then subdivided into 25 separate parcels.

The vineyard is adjacent to the chateau on gently sloping hillsides that rise up to 18 meters at its peak placing Chateau Climens on the top of the Barsac plateau. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 6,600 vines per hectare. Starting in 2010, Chateau Climens began to use biodynamic farming techniques. The following year, they were 100% biodynamic.

Chateau Climens 2014 is the first vintage they became officially certified for being biodynamic. The property has been certified by EcoCert.

One of the more interesting practices used by Chateau Climens is the use of organic herbal teas in the vineyard. The teas are used to help fight potential diseases in the vines. Some of the teas used could range from Chamomile, Horsetail, Willow Tree, Cypress, and Juniper Berry.
