2020 Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Argent' Bordeaux Blanc Sec 3L
Winemaker Notes: Lune d’Argent is the heart of Clos des Lunes’ production. We firmly believe in the future of this legendary terroir and its truly original style. With a touch of French oak, the Sémillon is dense and rich, the Sauvignon Blanc refined and precise. This cuvée of dry white wine promises to convey all the magic of Sauternes
From Madeline Triffon MS: "Lune d’Argent – Silver Moon indeed! Satiny-smooth white Bordeaux, the texture alone is a big winner. Gently dry, with ripe peachy flavors and a little lemony acidity. Perfect as an aperitif by itself, or with fresh scallops and pan-fried sole.”
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "A dense, fruity white with sliced lemon, apple and some dried pineapple. It’s full and flavorful. Quite layered. Pretty fruit and firmness, giving it form. Mostly semillon with some sauvignon blanc. Drink now. Barrel Sample: 92-93"
Vinous - "The 2020 Lune d'Argent is airy, precise and elegant. Lemon peel, crushed flowers, mint and white pepper give this gracious, ethereal white lovely brightness. Lune d'Argent is 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon done mostly in steel, with about 20% in oak. Barrel Sample"
