Characteristics and tasting notes of Clos de la Lune Blanc 2025

Tasting

Appearance
A pale yellow hue, enhanced by bright, luminous highlights.

Nose
Exceptionally delicate, the bouquet reveals elegant floral scents intertwined with sweet citrus aromas, notably reminiscent of pomelo.

Palate
The attack is subtle and lively. The palate then unveils a generous, rounded texture carried by flavours of white-fleshed fruits. The whole offers a lovely persistence, perfectly balanced between indulgence and freshness.

Food and wine pairings

This cuvée will pair wonderfully with seafood, such as delicately grilled sea bass, shellfish or a scallop carpaccio. It also makes an ideal match for Provençal cuisine or a risotto with fresh herbs.

Serving and cellaring

To fully enjoy Clos de la Lune Blanc 2025, it is recommended to serve it chilled, at a temperature between 8 and 10°C. While it can be savoured in its youth to appreciate its liveliness, it also has the ability to evolve in the cellar until around 2030, developing seductive toasted notes.

The estate

Legally founded in 2014 under the leadership of its current president, Gérard Herisson, Clos de la Lune is located in Cogolin, in the heart of Provence. This Var-based estate has made its mark by developing a unique philosophy based on the harmony between the land, the sea and the lunar cycles. Although the agricultural history of the site is much older, the contemporary structure focuses on producing wines that faithfully reflect their Mediterranean terroir, while embracing an approach that respects nature's rhythms.

The vineyard

Nestled within the Massif des Maures, the vines benefit from a privileged setting between the hills and the Mediterranean Sea. This exceptional terroir, typical of the Côtes de Provence appellation, enjoys an ideal Mediterranean climate. Sea breezes temper the summer heat, while the nature of the soils allows the grape variety to draw out all its complexity, finesse and beautiful aromatic expression.

The vintage

The 2025 year provided weather conditions mild and favourable enough to allow the estate to produce wines in all three colours. This recent vintage thus ensured a healthy harvest, conducive to crafting well-balanced wines.

Vinification and ageing

The making of Clos de la Lune Blanc 2025 begins with nighttime harvesting, a method chosen to preserve aromatic freshness and limit oxidation. The berries are pressed very quickly, less than an hour after picking. The juices then undergo a low-temperature settling process to clarify naturally. Alcoholic fermentation is meticulously controlled between 15°C and 18°C. Finally, the wine is racked in three distinct stages, thereby avoiding any early filtration.

Grape variety

This cuvée is exclusively made from 100% Vermentino.
