FOOD MATCHING NOTE:
Perfect with a foie gras in terrine and brioche, a duck with peaches or a pie with apricots and pistachios.
TASTING NOTE:
A very good Climens, great finesse, very successful wine for this difficult vintage!
It has a simple, slightly malic bouquet at first, almost Germanic in style, scents of yellow flowers emerging with time, coalescing and gaining more richness. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry. There appears to be more botrytis here and certainly more weight on the fresh finish that is tinged with barley sugar, betraying Barsac origins.
