Reviewed April 2024A 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. (PK)

Crushed citrus, honeyed grapefruit, and a beautiful chalky, mineral character all emerge from the 2023 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Argent Blanc, a vibrant, medium-bodied white that has good acidity, a straight, focused texture, and outstanding length.

The Wine Independent
The 2023 Lune d'Argent needs a little shaking to wake up notes of Bosc pears, fresh apples, and coriander seed with wafts of chalk dust and dill seed. The medium-bodied palate delivers a satiny texture and crisp backbone, finishing long and spicy. Nice! The blend is 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. (LPB)

Vinous
The 2023 Lune d'Argent was picked from August 28 to September 21 over several passes through the vines. It comprises 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The Lune d’Argent has an open nose, a little lighter than expected, though it gains intensity with aeration. Scents of Golden Delicious apple and light grass clippings emerge from the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and sapid, presenting a lovely umami sensation. It has a fair bit of complexity toward the pithy finish thanks to that Sémillon. Excellent. (NM)
Notes
A dry Bordeaux white blending 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of pear, apple, nectarine and citrus alongside chalky mineral accents. The medium-bodied palate combines a satiny texture with fresh acidity, a juicy core and a long, lightly spicy finish. No malolactic fermentation was used to preserve acidity.
