Tasting notes
Made from 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc and produced by the team of Olivier Bernard at Domaine de Chevalier, the 2016 Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent is a beautiful white readers should buy a case of. Lemon, citrus blossom, white flowers, and honeysuckle notes all emerge from this medium-bodied, pure, elegant white that has both richness and freshness. This is the entry level wine of the estate yet it’s all hand-harvested, fermented in concrete, and aged in older barrels. It’s a beautiful wine.

This is a fairly recent project from Olivier Bernard of Domaine de Chevalier. A blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2016 Lune d'Argent gives up pretty pink grapefruit, lime cordial and jasmine scents with wafts of beeswax and yuzu zest. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of freshness and intensity, finishing on a citrusy note. Total production is around 13,500 cases.
Great texture but not that much flavour – it's so well behaved!! (JR)
