Description
The Cyprès de Climens is the second label wine of Chateau Climens.
The wines are made primarily from the Sémillon grape, with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle sometimes playing supporting roles. The beauty and depth of the wines depends on the unique fall weather conditions in this part of Bordeaux — especially the early morning mists that rise from the nearby rivers — that allow the development of Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as noble rot, on the grapes. This fungus gives the grapes their concentrated sweetness without diminishing the all-important acidity that makes the wines so vibrant.
Tasting Notes: An explosion of tastes includes ripe pear, candied apricot, grapefruit, and orange rind, along with hints of nutmeg, honey, caramel, and minerals — a luscious wine that’s not at all cloying or ponderous, thanks to that balancing acidity.
Pair this luscious sweet wine with a range of goat- and cow-milk cheeses, broiled cockle or clam appetizers, a rich cream of wild mushroom soup, a savory vegetable tart, and even Asian-inspired dishes, including sushi.
