Château Climens

Château Climens is a Premier Cru Classé (French, "First Growth") Sauternes wine producer from the Barsac appellation.

The estate is located in the southern part of France's Bordeaux wine region in the district of Graves, an eighth of a mile away from Barsac's other most historically rated vineyard, Château Coutet.

The vintages 1929, 1947 and 1949 were described by Alexis Lichine to surpass Château d'Yquem as "lighter, with less vinosity and body, yet miraculously subtle.

The Roborel family were responsible for expanding the estate, initiating viticulture in the 17th century, and oversaw the production of both white and red wine.

[2] In 1855, Monsieur Henri Gounouilhou bought the property, in the year Climens was classified a Premier Cru.
