Happy hour with Phil. I have always enjoyed a Bordeaux white. Very nice. Unripe peaches. Probably needed a bit more chill time. — 24 days ago

Very intense but well-balanced. Tightly wound on the nose with lanolin and beeswax, and a little bit of lemon curd, giving more lemon and viscosity on the palate. Long finish — 2 months ago

Drank 4/1/19. Decent pairing with Cacio e Pepe, but would have probably preferred a Chianti.

This is the unoaked version. Lemon, minerality, and a touch of earthy funk on the nose. Very clean and balanced with flavors of lemon, citrus peel, some orange zest, and a touch of salinity. Medium to long finish with bright acidity. Overall, I prefer the Lunes d'argent for a couple of bucks more, as it seems to be richer and a bit more interesting than the unoaked Blanche.

Bright and floral. Great minerality, with flavors of lemon and stone fruit. Sipping it with some nice local cheese and a mellow mix currently playing Ry Cooder.. and now John Hyatt. — 12 hours ago

Clos des Lunes "Lune d'Argent" 2024. Bordeaux Blanc – Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A classic Bordeaux Blanc crafted from 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, produced by Clos des Lunes, the white wine estate of the Bernard family (SC Domaine de Chevalier) in one of Bordeaux's finest white wine terroirs. While still in its youth, the 2024 vintage already reveals exceptional balance, precision, and elegance. Its beautifully integrated texture hints at an even brighter future with a few years of bottle age.

Aromas & Flavors
Expressive aromas of white peach, ripe citrus, honeysuckle, lemon blossom, and fresh herbs unfold alongside subtle notes of wet stone and flint. The palate is layered yet remarkably refined, where the richness of Sémillon meets the freshness and lift of Sauvignon Blanc.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a silky, almost creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Despite its youthful structure, the edges are already remarkably soft, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish that lingers with freshness rather than weight.

Food Pairings
A natural companion for oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled prawns, sea bass, Dover sole, or creamy goat cheese. Its precision and elegance make it an outstanding seafood wine.

Verdict
Another outstanding vintage that continues the remarkable consistency of Clos des Lunes. The 2024 is tighter than the 2023 but noticeably more polished, combining youthful energy with impressive finesse. Delicious today, yet clearly built to reward three to six years of cellaring.

Did You Know?
Clos des Lunes is owned by the Bernard family, also proprietors of the prestigious Domaine de Chevalier in Pessac-Léognan. Although produced under the Bordeaux Blanc appellation, the estate applies many of the same meticulous vineyard and cellar practices that have made Domaine de Chevalier one of Bordeaux's benchmark producers of dry white wine.

🍷 Personal Pick
This has quietly become one of the cornerstone whites in my cellar. I've followed several vintages, and each one seems to refine the style even further. The 2024 impressed me with its precision, softer edges, and seamless balance despite its youth. It's one of those bottles I never hesitate to recommend, beautiful now with seafood, but patient enthusiast will be rewarded with even greater complexity in a few years.

Old bottle notes right up front like barrel char, pine resin, and warm tires, with soft round notes of baked cherry and blackberry with some light spice notes of juniper berries and bramble, hints of acetone and humid summer forest. Cherries and blueberries with minty char-ry notes on the palate. Notes of milk chocolate show up on the nose and palate. Seems to be passing its peak but old Calis are always fun and interesting ;) — 4 years ago

No notes. I brought this to our friends to go along a plate of grilled meat and baked potatoes, fresh tomatoes. Honey and toast and a touch of lemon and red apple. The palate is dry, acid driven, lemon and green apple. Strong grip and a bit of salinity in the rear. Great stuff ! — 2 months ago

Super pretty. I love that. But also robust. Those who think Pinot is weak should try this. It’s some serious wine for a Bourgogne Rouge. Longer finish than you expect. Tight dark fruit. Really good. 2022 — 6 months ago
