Clos de Lunès

Lune d'Argent White Bordeaux Blend 2023

Clos des Lunes “Lune d’Argent” 2023
Bordeaux Blanc, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
A classic white Bordeaux blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The estate is known for showcasing the nobility of Sémillon in dry form — rare in Bordeaux, where it is often associated with sweet Sauternes. Here, Sémillon brings waxy texture, depth, and honeysuckle complexity, while Sauvignon Blanc adds grassy aromatics and a zesty lift.

Aromas & Flavors
Expressive notes of ripe citrus, white peach, honeysuckle, and subtle herbs, framed by hints of wet stone and fresh-cut grass. The interplay of ripe fruit and grassy vibrancy creates both richness and freshness.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a supple, almost waxy texture from the Sémillon, balanced by Sauvignon’s crisp acidity. Clean, mineral, and refreshing on the finish, with good persistence.

Winemaking Notes
Harvested by hand and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel with partial maturation on fine lees to preserve both aromatic intensity and structure. This process highlights both varietals’ best traits.

Food Pairing
Perfect with seafood gastronomy — oysters, scallops, grilled prawns, or sea bass. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, light poultry, or herbed vegetable dishes.

Verdict
A refined Bordeaux Blanc that balances richness and freshness, showing why Sémillon deserves more attention in dry blends. Stylish, versatile, and perfect for the table.

Quinta do Vesuvio Porto 2017

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh, ripe dark fruit and notes of sweet cacao and spice, blend of Touriga Nacional 60%, Touriga Franca 30% and Sousão 10%, and at 113 grams per liter of residual sugar. On the palate pronounced flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and currants with notes of cacao and espresso. Well balanced, fine tannins, still tight, long finish ending with ripe juicy fruit, spice and earthy character. Very Nice! I would wait another 5 years! — 9 months ago

Domaine Serene

Clos du Lune Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Dark golden in color.

Light and elegant nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, green and red apples, citrus, spices, minerals, light oak, herbs, sea salt and light earth.

Long finish with limes and herbs.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Oregon. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and salty.

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Chardonnay, still feels young and would continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Feels like a good quality Burgundy white. Elegant, easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

Chardonnay grapes were aged on the lees, in French oak barrels for 14 months.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Domaine de Chevalier

Clos des Lunes Lune Blanche Bordeaux Blanc Sec White Bordeaux Blend 2020

Blend of Semillon (70%) and Sauvignon Blanc (30%). Pale golden color. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, honey and white flowers. The palate is full of lychee, white peach and green melon flavors with additional notes of lemon and minerals. Hint of saline on the long and generous finish. Nice concentration and tension. Still quite vibrant and fresh tasting! Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — 5 months ago

Comboio do Vesuvio Unoaked Douro Red Blend 2022

Nice natural honest style. Transparant. Ripe korrelige fijne tannines. Doet iets denken aan een cote rotie, rijp, zongebakken, zonder gestoofd te zijn. Met frecheur. — 8 months ago
