The 2014 Lune d'Or from Clos des Lunes has a very attractive bouquet with touches of smoked hazelnut and granite infusing the mineral-driven bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, plenty of Granny Smith apples mixed with Conference pear and a touch of lychee. Then, a surprisingly spicy finish with lemongrass and a hint of Thai fish oil towards the finish. This is very fine.

This marries ripe peach, nectarine and mirabelle plum notes with racy quinine and honeysuckle hints. Shows tangy tension through the finish, but this will evolve into a lush version with time. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made.

Beautiful, dense, ripe, stone fruits, good persistency in a rich, round style. Unusual but full fleshed and with great potential. There’s an uptick in acidity on the finish. Drinking Window 2016 - 2020.

The 2014 Lune d'Or is the top bottling in this range of whites. Soft, textured and inviting, it offers plenty of immediacy and richness, with the Sémillon very much front and center. As good as the 2014 is, it is also heavily marked by oak.

green grapes

Varietal: White Bordeaux

The blended white wines of the Bordeaux region of France are famed worldwide for their complexity of flavor and superbly balanced characteristics. They are most commonly made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes, although French law dictates that Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac can all also be used in the production of these excellent wines. For centuries, the wineries of this region have been working and perfecting the skills necessarily to get the most flavor and positive characteristics of these grapes, and other wine producing countries in the world will no doubt continue to emulate these world leaders when it comes to selecting and blending said grape varietals.
barrel

Region: Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
