Clos des Lunes – Lune D’Argent 2020
€17.95
Official Tasting Notes:
Picture a dry Sauternes blended with sweet, white peaches and you begin to get the idea of what’s in your glass. Add some ripe, yellow citrus and a dollop of pineapple, with a shot of acidity, and you can complete the picture.
John’s view:
Peaches and lemons with a drizzle of cream. Well obviously it is a wine and not a pudding but if it were a pudding it would be peach and lemon cheesecake! The “experts” say to serve this at 14 degrees which I think is too warm, chill it for 30 minutes before serving and it will zing (or sing!). Staggering value at this price.

I have labelled this wine Graves/ Sauternes which is actually incorrect – let me explain…. The wine is actually produced in Sauternes but both in the style of a dry Graves but also by one of the great white Graves estates – Domaine de Chevalier which sells for £100+ a bottle. I am not a huge fan of the ubiquitous sauvignon blanc wines that seem to dominate the world stage right now which is why I like this stuff. 70% Semillon and just 30% Sauvignon makes for a much richer, more interesting wine. Talking of bottles it comes in a beautiful bottle that mirrors the 18th century design and has a beautiful label. None of which makes any difference to the wine itself but when you taste it you will see why we have included it in our selection.
