Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Or': Sauternes' Finest Dry White Wine

Clos des Lunes 'Lune d'Or' is the premium cuvée, representing the pinnacle of the estate's ambition to craft a magnificent dry white from the hallowed grounds of Sauternes. Under the direction of Olivier Bernard (Domaine de Chevalier), this wine is a masterful blend of old-vine Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, benefiting from complete barrel ageing. It offers a unique combination of the region's characteristic richness and the vibrant precision of a great dry white.
