White peach, pineapple, apricot, orange, mango and limoncello notes create an interesting bouquet. Bright, crisp, and fresh, creamy, citrus-filled finish, you can drink this with pleasure on release.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: Lots of crushed citrus, tart pineapple, and white flowers notes emerge on the nose of the 2021 Lune D’Argent Blanc, a medium-bodied, rich, nicely textured white based largely on Semillon. It shows incredible minerality on the palate and is pure, precise, and well worth seeking out.

• James Suckling: A touch of stones, white nuts and white asparagus on top of the gooseberry leaves and golden berries. Fresh and succulent on the palate with a medium to full body and a fluid, zippy finish.

Producer Information

Starting several years ago, Olivier Bernard and the team at Domaine de Chevalier made a strong commitment to Clos des Lunes, an ancient vineyard in Sauternes, among the finest in Bordeaux. Relying on an intimate relationship with the terroir, the ultimate aim is to create one of the greatest dry white wines on the market. Clos des Lunes is located in the heart of a small area encompassing the finest great growths of Sauternes, in the communes of Sauternes and Bommes. Historically, this terroir has always been recognized for its ability to produce top-quality sweet white wines. However, before botrytisation, the grapes obviously go through a phase of optimum ripeness that is also conducive to making dry white wines. The fine soil and microclimate here are ideally suited to producing very great dry white wines with remarkable freshness. We take maximum advantage of these unique features.
