Overview

The Château Climens 1er Cru Barsac 1969 is a testament to craftsmanship in the face of challenge. Born from a vintage marked by unpredictability, this Premier Cru Classé from Barsac displays the house's unwavering commitment to elegance and tradition. With over half a century of ageing, this golden jewel offers rare insight into the resilience of both the terroir and the winemaking philosophy behind Climens. Collectors and refined palates alike will find it a singular opportunity to taste the legacy of one of Sauternes' most respected estates — even in a lesser-known year.


Tasting Notes

Aged to a rich amber hue, the 1969 Climens opens with vivid aromas of Satsuma, stewed apricots, and a delicate trace of brown sugar. The palate follows with layered citrus freshness, hints of dried peaches, and a vibrant tang on the finish, carried by remarkable acidity. Deeper notes of Valencia orange, honeycomb, roasted chestnuts, and toasted almonds intertwine with a whisper of clove, revealing the wine’s graceful evolution. Balanced and enduring, this Barsac remains bright and compelling — a masterclass in longevity and complexity.
