A blend of Semillon (70%) and Sauvignon Blanc (30%). Clos des Lune Lune d'Argent is a dry wine made from grapes grown in Sautnrnes, better known, of course, for dessert wines. When consumed young, it is crisp and fresh similar to an oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc. This bottle, at seven years of age, has taken on a new personality centered on the rich texture and flavors of maturing Semillon. I like it.
Full gold color. Smells of ripe apples, fresh grass and melons. Flavors of figs and white peaches. Full bodied and rich but youthful acidity remains on the beautiful, complex finish. I love what age is doing to a wine that was also very pleasant in its youth. I have a few more bottles and will be in no hurry to drink them.
