Clos des Lunes "Lune d'Argent" 2023

Apple and citrus fruit, yeasty dough; on the palate, roundness and fine acidity, a solid structure, good length, with a spicy finish. A real crowd-pleaser.

This dry white wine is crisp, citrus with a bright herbal edge and vivid acidity. It comes from a number of parcels in the region of Sauternes. Drink from 2026.

A textbook example of excellent dry white in 2023: you get the sumptuousness of ripe Sémillon with nectarine juiciness and the verve and citrus punch, in this case kiwi, from the Sauvignon Blanc. No malolactic fermentation to maintain acidity, given the summer heatwaves, and voilà. This wine also has some classy pear on the finish, but above all a juicy mid palate.

Yellow tropical fruits, flowers, and green apples, with a hint of vanilla are ready to be enjoyed, in the nose, and on the forward, sweet, juicy, palate. This is ready-to-go as soon as it hits the stores. It is interesting to note that Clos des Lunes was the first wine being offered as a future from the 2023 vintage. The wine blends 70% Semillon with 30% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2025-2030. 91 Pts.

Super attractive aromatics, apple blossom and honeysuckle, this is slim and savoury through the palate, with bright and joyful citrus and white peach. Unfussy, easy to recommend.

Score: 89-91. Fresh as a spring shower, almost chilly, the nose is all tension and citrus notes with a mineral touch. The palate is intense, with bright substance and notes of fresh herbs, salt-preserved lemon, and a mouthwatering finish.

The bouquet of Clos des Lunes’ Lune d’Argent cuvée shows a lovely balance between oak ageing and fruit. Tropical notes are paired with the freshness of lemongrass and peppermint. Sleek and fresh, the wine is linear and well supported by its structure. It even has a creamy touch, with a certain density. The finish, slightly saline, is lifted by fine bitters that extend the length. A great success!
