Note di degustazione
Intense apricot and quince aroma. Very sweet, very pure, with flavours of figs, orange marmalade and a light note of ginger. Rich, viscous and balanced by clarity of freshness on the finish. (JH)

Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. The Cyprès de Climens 2011, the second wine from Château Climens, is a huge a success for Bérénice Lurton and her team. It has a rich bouquet with scents of brioche, honeycomb and marzipan that is well-defined and powerful. The palate is well balanced right from the start, the keen line of acidity cutting through the viscous fruit with a caressing pineapple and lemon curd finish that is very seductive. What a beautiful Sauternes and of course, tasted blind, I had no idea this was a second label!
Apricot and light marzipan nose. Very almondy on the palate, creamy. Nice sourness on the finish. Straightforward rather than exciting. Just fresh enough and perhaps a touch spicy/oily on the finish. (JH)
