Brand Description

The exceptionally distinguished Chateau Climens is classified as a 1er Cru Classé and known as the Lord of Barsac. Its history dates back to the 16th century, and only five families have owned the estate from its origins. This is a rare occurrence which explains why its surface area in a continuous single vineyard has practically remained unchanged since the date of its creation. In 1971, Lucien Lurton, already the owner of several famous classified growths in the Médoc, was won over by the finesse of the Climens wines and acquired the chateau. It was in 1992 that his daughter Bérénice Lurton took over the chateau's destiny. Since then, it is with enthusiasm and determination that she takes great care in perpetuating the precious magic of Chateau Climens, ensuring that this legendary growth shines with evermore brilliance and grace.
