Château Climens Premier Cru Classé 2016

France / Bordeaux / Barsac

Only five families have owned the Premiere Cru Château since its inception. This is rare and explains why the area of ​​his vineyard has remained practically unchanged over the centuries. In 1992, Bérénice Lurton took over the château from her father. She harvests and processes the plots one by one and cuvées individual batches to get the right balance. The resulting homogeneity of quality every year is really impressive. The year 2010 marks an important turning point in the management of the vineyards, when Bérénice Lurton made the decision to convert all viticulture to biodynamics. Fittingly, Château Climens was awarded the Bordeaux Best Of Wine Tourism Gold Award for Sustainable Wine Tourism Practices.
