Since the 70s, two decades of rigour under the Lurton family brought Climens back to its first growth quality. In 1992, Bérénice Lurton took over, working with Corinne Comme to convert the entire vineyard to Biodynamics in 2010. The wines are simply stunning but tricky to find as yields are even lower than classic Barsac, thanks to the farming practices. Try to find the Asphodèle, the dry white named after a wild white lily that thrives on limestone - 100% Sémillon conceived with the help of Pascal Jolivet, from the Loire no less. In 2022, Berenice sold the Château to the Moitry family who are continuing this tradition of excellence.
