Expert Review – Vintage 2022

Jeb Dunnuck writes: The 2022 Clos Des Lunes Lune D’Argent Blanc is a pure, balanced, medium to full-bodied white with clean citrus and floral aromatics, a good spine of acidity, and a clean, lengthy finish. It’s a classy Bordeaux Blanc based largely on Smillon. – Jeb Dunnuck 90-92

Antonio Galloni writes: The 2022 Lune dArgent shows notable richness, very much in the style of the year. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint and tangerine. Pear, mint and chamomile open effortlessly. In 2022, Lune dArgent offers quite a bit of presence, making it a terrific choice for the dinner table. Readers should expect a rich, layered Sauvignon Blanc. Pretty floral notes liven up the finish. Drinking 2025 to 2027. – Vinous 90-92

Zekun Shuai writes: Fine reduction with flint and matchstick characters that protect the creamed citrus. Pretty full-bodied and broad at the start with a lightly phenolic middle and a flavorful, saline finish. 70% semillon and 30% sauvignon. Try from 2025. – James Suckling 92

Georgina Hindle writes: Cool and crisp, clean and nicely weighted on the palate with some creamy and chalky lemon, pear and apricot. An easy-drinking style with nuance and freshness. Lacks a touch of weight and zing, but theres appealing bitter lemon rind with apricot and peach flavours. Feels clean. Drinking 2025 to 2030. – Decanter 90

James Molesworth writes: This fresh version offers mirabelle plum, quinine and honeysuckle notes that stay bright and nicely defined through the energetic, salted buttertinged finish. Smillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2026. – Wine Spectator 90 Smart Buys

Yohan Castaing writes: With aromas of pear, peach and menthol, the 2022 Lune d’Argent exhibits a lively, refreshing bouquet followed by a juicy, round and fleshy palate, concluding with a bright, lemony finish. It’s a blend of 70% Smillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. -Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Winemaker Description

Lune dArgent is the heart of Clos des Lunes production. They firmly believe in the future of this legendary terroir and its truly original style. With a touch of French oak, the Smillon is dense and rich, the Sauvignon Blanc refined and precise. This cuve of dry white wine promises to convey all the magic of Sauternes.
