Clos des Lunes

With Lune d’Or, ambitions are extremely high. Everything comes down to a meticulous selection that produces a very small quantity of just 20 barrels each year. This wine sits alongside the world’s greatest. It offers remarkable purity, great expressiveness, a very rich structure and a soulfulness that reveals itself as time passes. Aging in barrels: 15 months.

Semillon 70%, Sauvignon Blanc 30%

"A real success and an attractive wine, the 2022 Lune d'Or exhibits aromas of verbena, lemon oil, anise and jasmine, followed by a moderately weighted, juicy and fresh palate with bright acids and a saline, mouthwatering finish. It's a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon. Drink 2025=2032."
91/100 Wine Advocate

"Crafted from vines planted in the communes of Sauternes, Barsac, Fargues, Preignac and Barsac, the Lune d'Or, a dry white wine entirely dedicated to Sémillon grapes, reveals aromas of smoke, pear, spring flowers and citrus confit. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, it has an unctuous, deep mid-palate with a fleshy core of fruit and a long, mouthwatering finish. It’s a great bottle in the making."
