Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Proprietor Berenice Lurton continues to turn out one of the utterly profound wines from the Barsac Sauternes region…a beautiful wine and stands out as one of the top wines of 2006. Medium gold, with a slightly more advanced color than I am used to seeing in a young Climens, the wine displays waxy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A solid, finely perfumed wine, the tannins giving concentration and structure... bitter chocolate character and tight texture that should age well."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Beautifully elegant, noble, racy. A blend of 77% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.

"A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of espresso roast, damp earth, new oak, black cherries, and black currants. Medium to full-bodied with exceptional purity, surprising intensity, good..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s. The palate is very well balanced with excellent acidity: apricot, honeysuckle, a touch of orange zest and then vibrant white peach bursting across the finish with lime..
