Clos des Lunes Lune d’Argent is a dry white Bordeaux from the Sauternes region, produced by Clos des Lunes under Olivier Bernard (also behind Domaine de Chevalier), built on 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. Traditional vinification and ageing of the best lots in barrels and vats reveals the wine’s character. It’s a dry white built from grapes that could just as easily go into sweet Sauternes, giving it a richer, more textured character than most everyday Bordeaux Blanc.
CHARACTER
Lemon: citrus fruit
Elderflower: linden and acacia floral notes
Mango: part of the exotic sweetness
Mineral: mineral notes on the finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Intense and complex, exotic white fruits and citrus fruit mixed with floral notes of linden and acacia.
PALATE- Rich, generous, ample and intensely fruity, with very good tension, the lemony freshness of Sauvignon Blanc coating the exotic sweetness of lychee and mango from the ripe Semillon.
FINISH- Mineral notes bringing good salinity, a clean, lengthy finish with a saline edge.
