2018 Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Or' - 750ml
The Clos des Lunes vineyard spans across 65 hectares, situated within the undulating landscapes of Sauternes. The vineyard boasts an average vine age of 35 years and is strategically planted across a diverse range of soils, each playing a pivotal role in shaping the unique character of the estate's wines. The deep gravels of Sauternes contribute robustness and strength to the wines, while the gravelly soils resting on a clay-limestone base bring forth freshness, finesse, and elegance. Additionally, the red earths of Barsac lend their refinement and grace to the final blend.
The Clos des Lunes "Lune d’Or" stands as a testament to Olivier Bernard's ambitious pursuit: the creation of one of the world's most exceptional wines. Crafted through a meticulous hand-selection of berries from exceptionally old vines, this cuvée, with impressive aging potential, aspires to be the quintessential embodiment of purity and complexity.
Wine Enthusiast - 92 Points
This dry, wood-aged wine comes from vineyards in the Sauternes region. A touch of honey comes through creamed-lemon and spice flavors. Well structured and with aging potential. (1/2021)
