Description
 
Founded by Olivier Bernard, the owner of Domaine de Chevalier in Pessac Leognan and Chateau Guiraud in Sauternes, the property previously made undistinguished, sweet wines under the name of Chateau Haut Caplane. That is no longer the case, now that Olivier Bernard and his son, Hugo Bernard began turning things around at Clos des Lunes. Today, Hugo Bernard is essentially managing Clos des Lunes.

The 45 hectare vineyard of Clos des Lunes is planted to 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The vines are old, with an average age of 30 years. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 6,500 vines per hectare. All work in the vineyards is organic, with the goal of moving to complete, self sustaining, vineyard farming techniques. The terroir of Clos des Lunes is gravel with clay, sand and limestone soil. The vineyard is close to some very good neighbors as it’s not far from Chateau d’Arche, Chateau Guiraud and even Chateau d’Yquem.

The Lune Blanche 2014 is a blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. It has a finely tuned citrus peel and fresh pear-scented bouquet that is not complex, but fresh and focused. The palate is sharp on the entry with a twist of sour lemon. There is something almost Muscadet-like here, hints of sea salt coming through on the mid-palate with a tang of shaved ginger lending spice to the finish. Enjoy this over the next 4-5 years.
