The 2013 Lune d’Argent is a blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc offering lots of exotic mango, pineapple and Mandarin orange notes in its aromatics, crisp acidity, and a medium-bodied, fresh, lively mouthfeel. Both these offerings can be drunk over the next 2-3 years, although they may last a lot longer. This is a project of Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier.
Producer
Clos des Lunes
Olivier Bernard is hands down one of the greatest winemakers in Bordeaux, celebrated year after year for his Domaine de Chevalier estate in Pessac-Léognan and his Château Guiraud in Sauternes, Bernard’s first vintage of the newly acquired Clos des Lunes estate was in 2012. While the Clos des Lunes property lies in the Sauternes appellation, the estate produces dry white wines, therefore it is sold as a white Bordeaux and not a sweet Sauternes. The vineyards stretch over 45 hectares and are planted to a majority of Sémillon with about one-third Sauvignon Blanc. The estate produces three high-quality dry whites, Lune d’Argent, Lune d’Or and Lune Blanche. Today, Olivier’s son, Hugo Bernard manages the day to day activities at Clos des Lunes.
