Cyprès is not merely a pre-determined second wine from a blend of lesser plots. Rather, Cyprès is made from a second round of picking in the Climens vineyard in Barsac and select barrels that didn’t quite fit the profile of that year’s Grand Vin. Considering yields for the first wine are regularly as low as 7hl/ha, it is no surprise that Cyprès also has great richness and power that reflects the quest for perfection undertaken by the Climens team.

92/100 - Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the 2016 Cypres de Climens is a little subdued at this youthful stage, offering glimpses at candied orange peel, key lime pie, crème brûlée and musk perfume scents plus a touch of fungi. The palate has a wonderful line of freshness cutting through the densely packed flavors, finishing long and earthy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Fresh and vibrant; sweet fruits on the palate; excellent acidity to ensure a refreshing finish.

Made in the same process as Château Climens; a great value second wine.

The topsoil is composed of gravelly sand and the subsoil is limestone and clay.

Ready to drink from release; could age for a few years.

Bérénice Lurton suggests pairing this with Asian spices - we'd recommend it with Pad Thai.
