2023 Clos des Lunes "Lune d'Argent," Bordeaux Blanc

A beautifully confident expression on the nose of this blend which is dominated by Semillon, at 70% of the total, with 30% Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of crushed chalk, lemon peel, vibrant matchstick and hint of meringue. This is beautifully expressive for such a young Semillon-rich cuvée, and this also comes across on the palate, with confit lemon peel, crushed white stone and orange zest all supported by a fresh and lively acidity for the vintage. Great confidence here, in this lively and fresh wine, but this is a white to tuck away in the cellar for five years, if not more.

Crafted by the team at Domaine de Chevalier using 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, this is another big winner for Lune d'Argent. Aromatically there's hints of pears and crisp apple, while the palate is packed with stonefruit, kiwi, lime pith, and lifted acidity that keeps it fresh and mouthwatering. A slight chalky note adorns a long finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. This is one that invites warm weather, but also will hold its own with so many different pairings on the dinner table. At this kind of pricing, it's all too easy to do a bit of both. For a legit Bordeaux Blanc experience at this kind of price point, Lune d'Argent is tough to beat.
