2014 Chateau Climens 0,375 l - halbe Flasche 1er Cru Classé Barsac

Decanter.com – 96 pts – ID: *One extremely fine lot after another, all marked by an extremely pure lemony botrytis. Bright and crisp, with lovely sweetness and mind-boggling precision. Choosing between the various barrels to make the final blend will be even tougher than usual this year.* - 04/2015

Vinum Magazin – 18,5/20 pts: *Perfekte Balance zwischen Tiefe, Fülle, aromatischer Komplexität, Frische und Länge; ausgewogen und durch und durch raffiniert.*- 06/2017

JancisRobinson.com - 17++/20pts - JR: *100% Sémillon. Tasted blind. Gingery richness and then Roquefort notes. Not sure about the stability of this particular bottle! Good try but a bit tricky. Certainly distinctive but pretty edgy.* - 11/2018

Vinous.com – 94 pts – NM: *The 2014 Climens has 141g/L residual sugar and was cropped at just 8.8hL/ha. It has a pure and elegant bouquet. Honey, quince and white peach mixes with chamomile - this is irresistible. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a bewitching tensile finish. Quite penetrating and a little more citrus-driven than the 2015. Superb. Tasted at the Climens vertical at the château in April 2022.* - 04/2022

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 94 pts – JL: *Leaning to the orange side of the style range, with strong notes of honeysuckle, apricots, flowers and stone. The wine is medium-bodied, fresh and lively. With time, this should improve as it fills out, gaining complexity on the nose and palate.* - 11/2019
