Bright citrus and orange peel on the nose, with notes of blossom and a hint of wax. The palate is saline and focussed, but not lacking richness, and there’s a finesse to the long and pure finish. Very well balanced, with lovely energy.

The Lune d'Argent comes from the lieu-dit Cap Lanne in the parish of Sauternes. After fermentation in cement tanks, a portion of the new wine was aged in 25% new French oak barrels. The wine was aged on its lees with regular bâtonnage during the six-month aging regimen. A blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc with 13.5% alcohol, the 2018 Lune d'Argent is scented of fresh grapefruit, lemon zest and lime leaves with touches of chalk dust, white pepper and dill seed. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean in the mouth, it has a lovely pure citrusy nature and chalky finish.
Full of bright fruits, this offers clear interest with its sparkling notes of citrus and a rich, textured mid-palate. It's rearing to go and a good early drinker.
Brightness and serenity to this white with lemon rind and pear skin, highlighting the cooked-apple character. Medium to full body, bright acidity and a vivid finish.
