Tasting notes
The 2018 Lune d’Argent has a perfumed nose of white flowers and honeysuckle, subtle frangipane scents patiently waiting in the background. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed entry, plenty of tropical fruit (passion fruit and guava) and a concentrated, almost viscous finish that lingers in the mouth. Yes, it does come across as a bit heady, but it’s still thoroughly enjoyable.

Beautiful white peach, honeysuckle, white flowers, and a touch of toasted almond emerge from the 2018 Lune d'Argent Blanc, and it's medium-bodied, with a balanced, elegant texture, nicely integrated acidity, and plenty of fruit and depth. A blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon, it's going to be even better with another year in bottle and keep for 7-8 years.
The 2018 Lune d'Argent is laced with scents of lemon confit, apricot, mint, chamomile and pear. Bright and lifted, with lovely mid-palate texture, this tasty dry white is a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years.
The 2018 Lune d'Argent is soft, open-knit and inviting with lovely orchard fruit and floral character. Dried apricot, baked apple and dried flowers are nicely layered in this pretty dry white. The 2018 is 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon, done mostly in concrete, with a portion of the juice vinified in oak.
