Château
Climens

Sauternes & Barsac
Premier Grand Cru Classé en 1855
Bérénice Lurton
A first growth Sauternes since 1855, Château Climens has long been called the “Lord of Barsac” due to the incomparable elegance and freshness of its wines.

Climens’ strong personality is derived above all from its unique limestone terroir and the unfailing professionalism of successive winemaking teams. Lucien Lurton, an emblematic winegrowing figure, purchased Chateau Climens in 1971. The estate was taken over by his youngest daughter in 1992.

Assisted by her team, Bérénice Lurton manages Climens with the respect and tenacity it takes to make the most of this unique terroir. It is in this spirit that the estate has been entirely cultivated according to biodynamic principles since 2010.
