Clos des Lunes, a Dry White Bordeaux Born on the Lands of Sauternes

The Estate

Created in 2012 with the release of its first vintage, Clos des Lunes is an estate in Sauternes, in Bordeaux, born from the vision of Olivier Bernard, also owner of Domaine de Chevalier, to produce a great dry white wine on land historically devoted to sweet wines. Today, his son Hugo Bernard runs the estate. The estate lies between the historic crus of Yquem and Guiraud, and benefits from the technical expertise of Domaine de Chevalier.

The Vineyard

This Bordeaux Blancs Secs comes from a 65-hectare rolling vineyard, planted on a mosaic of Sauternes terroirs combining deep gravels, clay-limestone soils and alluvial deposits of the Garonne. The vines, around 35 years old, are predominantly Sémillon, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc, and are hand-harvested into small crates, in successive passes according to ripeness.

The Vintage

The 2025 harvest took place from 21 August to 19 September, with a particularly restrained yield of 30 hectolitres per hectare, reflecting a pursuit of concentration in the grapes harvested.

Winemaking and Ageing

Clos des Lunes "Lune d'Argent" Édition Numérotée 2025 is crafted from carefully sorted grapes, pressed slowly without destemming or maceration. Settling takes place naturally by gravity in a cold room, followed by 6 to 7 months of ageing split between barriques (25%) and tanks (75%), with regular lees stirring to bring roundness and complexity.

Grape Varieties

The blend is made up of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc.
