Château Climens dessert whites are known for elegance, purity and freshness. The stellar 1986 vintage has lead to a remarkably rich and defined wine, one that showcases why Climens is regarded by many as the regions best wine after Yquem. Although it is slightly unfair to compare them due to their inherent differences in style and approach.

Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2019 Coutet sashays out with vibrant lime cordial, lemonade, and grapefruit oil notes followed by suggestions of fresh hay, powdered ginger, and honeyed toast. The palate is rich and decadent with an amazing line of freshness and a very long, spice-sparked finish.

This delicious wine presents a deep yellow color with orangey glints. The bouquet is rich with fruit aromas, ripe fruit, and floral scents, particularly white flowers, and hints of honey. On the palate, it is oily and voluptuous, yet well-balanced with good acidity. The finish is long, featuring toasty notes that add complexity to the overall experience.
