Cool and crisp, clean and nicely weighted on the palate with some creamy and chalky lemon, pear and apricot. An easy-drinking style with nuance and freshness. Lacks a touch of weight and zing, but there’s appealing bitter lemon rind with apricot and peach flavours. Feels clean.

Sweet, juicy pineapples, mango, and honeysuckle aromatics pop as soon as the wine hits the glass. The palate, is fruity, sweet, and creamy, with more of those pure, pineapple notes in the honey-touched finish. Drink from 2025-2032.

The 2022 Clos Des Lunes Lune D’Argent Blanc is clean, bright, and pure, with notes of lemon curd, white flowers, and crushed stone. Vibrant, focused, and elegant on the palate, it has impressive precision and a great finish, all making for an outstanding, incredibly satisfying white. Brought up in a mix of stainless steel and oak, drink bottles over the coming 5-7 years.

Kick of gunsmoke reduction on the first nose, honeysuckle and wax edge on the palate, this is Sémillon dominant in character as well as in the blend, ripe but maintains grip. Lime blossom on the finish gives lift, as does some fennel bitterness. A Sémillon dominant white from the team at Domaine de Chevalier, vines located in Sauternes.

A dazzling nose, like a starry sky, with notes of lemon and fennel. On the palate, the wine is pure and fluid.

Fruity nuances paired with notes of tobacco leaves. With good density—thanks to the Sémillon—the wine is flavoursome and elegant. It stands out for the persistence of its finish.

The nose is expressive, generous and tangy, with a lovely balance between stone-fruit aromas and ripe citrus. It reveals notes of white peach, ripe apricot and fresh pear (in the background), alongside ripe yellow lemon and candied lemon peel. After aeration, a hint of green apple and a touch of fresh quince emerge, along with white flowers (acacia, linden, a hint of chamomile), lemon yoghurt and ripe grapefruit with a fine bitterness. The palate is generous, round and fruity, with a good grapefruit bitterness, yellow lemon peel and fresh zest, plus a touch of blood orange. There are also notes of yellow peach and apricot, white flowers (acacia, linden, chamomile), and a subtle lactic hint of butter and vanilla. Lovely roundness and generosity; the acidity is supple yet pleasant and fairly fresh, and the texture is oily and enveloping.

An intense nose with ripe fruit and, for the first time, a floral edge. The palate is melting, airy and subtly rich, developing into a very fine length with a delicate, suave finish. Blend: 70% sémillon, 30% sauvignon. Alcohol: 13.5% - pH: 3.3.

Notes of boxwood, flowers, pear and white peach mingled with a lovely reduction preface the 2022 Lune d'Argent, a moderately weighted, round and satiny palate, with plenty of charm and a long, ethereal and enticing finish. This is a straightforward, elegantly crafted white wine.
