    Description

    Bérenice Lurton's wines are of rare precision and elegance. The Barsac terroir gives the wine a perfect balance.

    96+/100 pts ROBERT PARKERWith a pale lemon-gold color, the 2016 Climens reveals aromas of ripe peach, mango, and musky melon with hints of cedar, orange blossom, candied ginger, and brioche. The palate bursts with vibrant, energetic stone fruit and tropical layers, framed by fantastic freshness, and finishes with a long, creamy aftertaste.

    Biodynamic vineyard since 2010.

    A magnificent 2016 vintage, " fruit of exemplary purity, " rated 99/100 by RVF.
