Note di degustazione
Very pure and fresh on the nose but then extremely sweet on the palate. More acidity would be needed for a really long-term wine but there is lots of present pleasure. (JR)

The 2010 Cypres de Climens is an outstanding second wine from Berenice Lurton and her team. It has a very clean and fresh bouquet with lanolin, dried honey and peach notes that are nicely entwined with the botrytis character. The palate is rounded with viscous honeyed fruit, a fine line of acidity and impressive volume and persistency on the caressing mellifluous finish. This is very seductive and as good, if not better, than many of its grand cru peers. Drink now-2028.
Rich and opulent. A very nice package. Sweet wine. Clean with drive. Some floral character and some evident botrytis. (JR)
Honeyed and really tangy. Fresh fruit but also barley sugar, with spice on the finish, even a touch of ginger. Clean cut. (JH)
