Tasting Notes

85
Vinous Neal Martin - 18 Aug 22
The 1994 Climens has a simple bouquet with quince, honey and a light chlorine scent. The palate is medium-bodied, balanced but simple, showing dryness on the finish. Drink soon. Tasted from a bottle from my own cellar, I feel that this is running out of steam.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
