  • Description

    The 1969 Château Climens is a compelling example of Barsac's Premier Cru Classé, offering insight into the estate's resilience during a less heralded vintage. Despite the challenges of the 1969 harvest, this wine showcases Climens' dedication to quality and its unique terroir.

    In the glass, the 1969 Climens presents a deep amber hue, indicative of its age and the oxidative development characteristic of mature Sauternes. The nose reveals aromas of Satsuma, apricot, and a touch of brown sugar, suggesting a wine that has retained its vibrancy over time. On the palate, it offers citrus freshness with notes of dried peaches and apricot, culminating in a tangy finish. The wine's high acidity provides a mouthwatering quality, balancing its sweetness and contributing to its longevity.


    Tasting notes from enthusiasts highlight the wine's complex bouquet, featuring valencia oranges, honey, roasted chestnuts, almonds, and a hint of cloves. These descriptors underscore the wine's depth and the nuanced evolution it has undergone over the decades.


    While the 1969 vintage may not be among Climens' most celebrated, this wine exemplifies the estate's ability to produce elegant and age-worthy Sauternes even in challenging years. For collectors and enthusiasts, it offers a unique tasting experience that reflects both the character of the vintage and the enduring quality of Château Climens.
