U.S. Exclusive Allocation:
2010 is one of the most transcendent vintages produced by this legendary Barsac estate in the last half-century. 

The 2010 is a masterpiece—a wine of impossible freshness, laser-beam acidity, and other-worldly complexity—already showing layers of candied citrus, apricot, saffron, honeycomb, roasted almond, and crushed stone minerality, yet still only at the dawn of a 50-year lifespan.

Why You’ll Love It

• You are getting what many critics call Yquem’s only true rival in Sauternes/Barsac, with 2010 recognized as a towering vintage at the château.

• Production is microscopic—roughly a few thousand cases in a “normal” year, with some years skipped entirely—making this U.S.-exclusive allocation

How to Serve It

• Serve 2010 Climens cool (around 50–54°F) in white wine glasses to showcase the tension between its botrytized richness and Barsac’s vibrant limestone acidity.
  

• Pair with blue cheeses, roasted poultry with fruit, foie gras, or simply serve on its own at the end of an important meal; these are “contemplation wines” meant to be savored slowly with a small circle of serious wine lovers.
