Clos des Lunes Bordeaux Blanc Lune d'Argent 2017

$2799

A serious dry white Bordeaux hiding inside a Sauternes vineyard. Clos des Lunes is the project that Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier launched in 2011, when he took over a 45-hectare vineyard in the Sauternes appellation and decided to make great dry white wine from it instead. Lune d'Argent is the heart of the range: 70% Semillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, fermented with a touch of oak. The 2017 has the texture and weight you'd expect from old Semillon vines on Sauternes soils, but it's built around freshness — white peach, citrus, beeswax — and it's drinking beautifully now, with the kind of mid-palate depth that makes Pessac and Sauternes whites world-class.

Robert Parker

90 points

"After fermentation in 500-liter cement tanks, stainless steel vats and barrels, a portion of the 2017 Lune d'Argent was aged in 15% new French oak barrels. The wine was aged on its lees with regular bâtonnages during the six-month aging regimen. The blend is 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. It opens with lemonade, spiced apples, lime cordial, fresh grass and grapefruit scents plus wafts of wet pebbles and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, clean and refreshing, it finishes on a lingering citrusy note."

Wine Spectator

93 points

"Delicious, featuring a mix of pear, tangerine, yellow and green apple flavors, lined with light honeysuckle and fennel hints. Creamy along the edges, and pure and vibrant through the middle. This combines racy and exotic notes in a distinctive package. Drink now through 2023."
