Clos des Lunes
Starting several years ago Olivier Bernard and the team at Domaine de Chevalier made a strong commitment to Clos des Lunes an ancient vineyard in Sauternes among the finest in Bordeaux. Relying on an intimate relationship with the terroir the ultimate aim is to create one of the greatest dry white wines on the market. Clos des Lunes is located in the heart of a small area encompassing the finest great growths of Sauternes in the communes of Sauternes and Bommes. Historically this terroir has always been recognized for its ability to produce top-quality sweet white wines. However before botrytisation the grapes obviously go through a phase of optimum ripeness that is also conducive to making dry white wines. The fine soil and microclimate here are ideally suited to producing very great dry white wines with remarkable freshness. We take maximum advantage of these unique features.

The palate is rich, generous, ample and intensely fruity, with very good tension. The Sauvignon Blanc lemon juice deli- cately coats the exotic sweetness (lychee, mango) of the well-ripe Semillon. Mineral notes bringing good salinity added to this cocktail, to serve a beautiful finish. Concentration of white fruits, mineral freshness and righteousness.
