Description
Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Argent' is produced by Olivier Bernard and the winemaking team at Domaine de Chevalier. A blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc from 65-hectares of vineyards split between the sub-zones of Sauternes (adjacent to Ch. Yquem!), Bommes as well as Barsac, each adding power, freshness and minerality respectively. It is a stunning wine, with stunning pedigree.
JAMES SUCKLING 94-95 pointsLight cream, minerals and woven fruit. Bright and crunchy, with a medium to full body and a long, lightly phenolic finish. A touch of salinity at the end. Semillon and around 3% sauvignon blanc. - Zekun Shuai
VINOUS 92 - 94 points
The 2024 Lune d'Or, pure Sémillon picked from September 4 to 20 at 45 hl/ha, is a step up from the Lune d'Argent in terms of complexity. White peach, lime and hints of dried apricot unfold in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant with wonderful tension and impressive depth. This grabs the texture of the variety with both hands and runs with it. The finish has a lingering spiciness that beckons you back for more. It is excellent. - Neal Martin

Delicate notes of pear, spring flowers and white fruits emerge from the glass of the 2024 Lune d'Or, a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy wine with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, ethereal finish. It should improve with the élevage.
