2021 Clos des Lunes Lune d’Argent, Bordeaux Blanc

Silver Moon is made from vineyards in Sauternes.  Famous as the home of Bordeaux’s famous sweet wines (made from late season botrytised grapes), this is considered a great terroir for dry whites, harvested earlier.  Fresh, lively, ripe Sauvignon Blanc joins the florality of Semillon to make this pure and precise wine.  70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc.

"The 2021 Lune d'Argent, picked September 13 to October 4, has an understated bouquet of citrus peel, petrichor and linden scents that unfurl nicely in the glass. The palate is saline on the entry, displaying fine acidity, touches of orange peel and spice, and good density on the oyster-shell-tinged finish. This should give many years of pleasure, but it needs bottle age." Neal Martin
