Wine's world

Climens, this Barsac 1er cru classé, praised for over 40 years for the airy grace of its sweet wines, has just suffered an incredible series of climatic accidents (successive frosts and hailstorms).

In 5 years, Climens has had 4 vintages without being able to produce a single bottle: 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021.

The only surviving vintage: 2019, for a tiny harvest (1000 cases announced whereas the normal production is around 4000 cases per year). It will be released in the course of next year.

All our support to Bérénice Lurton and all her team so that Climens finally finds its full production in 2022 in order to delight us again with its sublime delicacy.

Report of La Revue du Vin de France (September 2021) for the 2018 Clinet, rated 96/100: "Le vin a, en bouteille, remarquablement intégré l'ampleur de sa structure tannique. C'est un pomerol intense et distingué, hédoniste, solaire, mais gardant sa part de mystère chtonien".

Jacky Lorenzetti is extending his empire on the left bank with the purchase of a third Médoc grand cru classé.

Already co-owner of Ch. d'Issan in Margaux (with the Cruse family) and owner of Ch. Pédesclaux in Pauillac, Mr. Lorenzetti has just acquired Ch. Lafon-Rochet in Saint-Estèphe.
