Clos des Lunes made its formal debut with the 2012 vintage after the land was purchased from the Castel group. At the time of the purchase, the vineyards were 27 hectares. With additional purchases, the vineyard has increased in size to 45 hectares.
Located in the Sauternes appellation, because the wine does not have the level of sweetness required to be sold as coming from the Sauternes appellation, this dry white Bordeaux wine is sold as a generic white Bordeaux wine or Grand Vin Blanc Sec. However, due to its high level of quality, Clos des Lunes is no ordinary, white Bordeaux wine.
The wine
Prestigious and rare, the Clos des Lunes “Lune d’Or” is the result of Olivier Bernard’s ambition to produce one of the greatest wines in the world. Made from a meticulous manual selection of grapes from very old vines, this Bordeaux Dry White wine with great ageing potential is the ultimate expression of purity and complexity.
Winemaking and ageing
Manual harvest in crates by successive selections according to ripeness. Slow pneumatic pressing. No destemming or maceration. Natural settling by gravity in a cold room with regular stirring of the lees. The wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in barrels.
Blend
Sémillon (70%)
Sauvignon Blanc (30%).
