Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent 2023

The 2023 Lune d'Argent is a refined and vibrant dry white Bordeaux that showcases the unique potential of the Sauternes terroir for non-sweet wines. It presents a pale gold colour with youthful green reflections. The nose is intense and aromatic, offering a complex bouquet of citrus zest, white peach, and exotic fruits like lychee, beautifully accented by floral notes of acacia and linden blossom. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generous, where the richness of ripe Sémillon is perfectly balanced by the crisp acidity of Sauvignon Blanc. It features a silky texture and a distinctive mineral salinity that leads into a long, precise, and refreshing finish with subtle hints of vanilla from partial oak aging.
