2016 Cypres de Climens Barsac

As Bortytis develops in the late Fall, teams of pickers hand-select the "noble-rotted” fruit – where the sugars and flavors have been concentrated – which is fermented and matured in barrels (one-third new). This process takes up to two years. A selection is made of the representative but early-drinking casks, and these are bottled as Cypres de Climens. This wine shares the great elegance and concentration that is the Climens hallmark, but is accessible when released. It also represents fine value.
