Tasting notes
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.

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.
The 2022 Lune d'Argent, closed under Diam, has a nuanced bouquet with honeysuckle and citrus fruit on the nose that's a little more restrained than when tasted from barrel. The palate is well balanced with a pleasant edge and a twist of sour lemon enlivening the back palate with moderate length and a malic aftertaste. Enjoy this over several 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.
